Does your heart say yes
or does it say no?
Does it tell you to stay
or tell you to go?
Does it miss me at all
or does it not care?
Does your heart even know
that I'm not there?

When you think of my name
does your heart skip a beat,
or does it cringe in fear
each time that we meet?
Does your heart ever cry
on cold, lonely nights,
wishing it could find a way
to make everything alright?

Say it in an email,
snail mail or a phone call -
say it however you need to
just so long as you're saying something at all.
Because not knowing your heart's desire
is breaking mine in two.
Open your hand and release your grip,
or open your arms and pull me closer to you.

that was then - this is now
