No words can come out
not even to the closest
I hesitate
and I hesitate
not knowing what direction to take
not knowing who will be there
not knowing if i'll survive
unsure if I can derive
from this pain inside
I search for hope
and I search for pride
but it seems like everyone's so dry
turning their back on me
I hesitate and I hesitate
does true love wait?

It's based on the feelings I had at the time. But I really like it, and I like the way I rhymed it. :]
