I Love You

I love you

Though I can not say so

The words get stuck in my throat

Every time I try to voice them

My heart pounds with your love

I long to be with you

I long to be your’s and only your’s

I love you

Though such a speech scares me

I quiver at the very thought of saying it

I long for your soft touch

I long for your bright gaze

I long for everything about you

I love you

I wish to join our hearts as one

I wish to be your’s

No holding back

No restrictions

No running away

I wish

I wish

The words would just come

I could just say it

I could open up my heart

I could let it all free

To say I love you

Is to open my

Heart

Soul

Mind

Body

In a way I never have before

It scares me
