I love you oh yes I do,
but I am afraid to let
it out. Unsure of myself
and what you might say,
I push it further down
inside my heart while
hoping you will say it
first, but instead you
push me away making me
think that you really
do not want me after
all, so I began to run
never revealing anything
to anyone at all.
Afraid to let it out
only to find that I was
wrong.
Wishing now I had said
those words to you, and
hoping for the chance to
let them finally out, yes
I am willing to swallow
my pride at last and admit
the things I should have said
even though I am afraid and
not sure of what you might
say.
