New Day

It's time I said that awkward 'goodnight'
I look back at you until you're out of sight.
I relive all the moments of our lovely day.
But I never said the things I planned to say.

My feelings for you, I still annoyingly hide.
Everyday there are words that I keep inside.
That's because of rejection I am too afraid.
Why risk a special friendship we have made?

And I go to sleep still wishing I'd said more.
Tonight I know justĀ what dreams are in store.
Tomorrow is a new day, come rain or shine.
I'll try to share with you these feelings of mine.
