Brave Mask

He couldn't know what I have been feeling
For the past months have been nightmares
The fear of losing him grows deep in my breast
Welling up inside tears threaten to fall

Still.

I wear my brave mask when I'm with him
I wear it on my face
And on my heart

I wear my brave mask when he goes
Because without it
I would cry so over him

The last night he held me so very tight
Whispered in my ear, to ease my fright
And still I felt it tug deep inside
I put on my little mask
To shield my heart

Even though he doesn't know
What I feel for him
He feels my love
Though it's hidden
I wish that one day I could tell him
What I feel within

But until

I wear my brave mask when I'm with him
I wear it on my face
And on my heart

I wear my brave mask when he goes
Because without it
I would cry so over him
