Hey there guys well at the moment I'm stuck in bed with the flu so I haven't had much energy to do much of anything let alone writing. But while watching the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie I came up with this song for Helga. Yeah LOVE HEY ARNOLD ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CARTOONS FROM MY YOUNGER DAYS. Well I hope you all like it.
FOR SO LONG NOW
For so long now
I've watched you from afar
We've been so close
Yet still so far apart
How I've longed to say
Those special words to you
But I'm too afraid of what you might say
Once you know the truth
So like a coward I run away and hide
As I try to protect this fragile heart of mine
For so long now
I've been playing a part
Trying to be brave and strong
But if you looked into my eyes
Then you would see the tears which I hide
For the one that you see
Isn't the real me
It's just a role I hide behind
For I'm too afraid of what you might do
Once you see the truth
So like a coward I run away from you
As I try to protect this glass heart of mine
For so long now
I've been dreaming of the day
When I wouldn't be so afraid
Where I would have the courage to say
Those special words to you
And you would finally know the truth
That I've loved you all along
And you look at me
With a smile upon your face
Because you've known the truth
Right from the start
And we wonder what it was that kept us apart
It's all that I can do
To contain this love for you
Because this feels like dream
It couldn't possibly be real
That the love which we both feel
Is singing in my heart
Like a wondrous melody
A song for you and me
Please don't let this be a dream
For so long now
I've watched you from afar
So close are we yet still so far apart
No you will never know the truth
Which lies within my heart
It's been there from the start
Too afraid am I so I run and hide
Whenever I see you walk on by
But you come and find me
And take my hand in yours
With a smile you say
I finally see the truth
That it's always been you
So with tears in my eyes
I walk happily hand in hand by your side
