My pride stands in the way of my love for you
I'm so sorry I lied, I thought it was the truth
Since the day I realized my true feelings for you
I've stood here silently not knowing what to do

I know it's my fault, I made you wait to long
Will you ever forgive me, I know I did you wrong
I watch you live your life silent in my pride
all the while wishing I was standing by your side

I dare not come near you, the pain's too easy to see
I have to wait for you to come back to me
Should I ever cross your mind and walk your heart again
Please let me know, I'll be waiting until then

These things you'll never know, I'm too stubborn to let you see
Too proud to let you know what you mean to me
No one can hear me, no one knows I lied
No one understands 'cause I'm silent in my pride

Deanna

Very good work here!

Pride can be a wonderful thing, yet when it comes to love sometimes the loss out weighs the conviction as all fall's true with words from one of the masters:

They who go
Feel not the pain of parting: It is they
Who stay behind that suffer
Henery W, Longfellow

If with pen in hand I've made you think
I've not wasted one drop of ink
