I do not know this feeling

This unfamiliar presence inside my soul

I thought I had it many times before

But it never took so much control



I just want to scream it out loud

These words I can not release

For you to know what I feel

My emotions will not cease



I want to cry because it hurts

Not being able to let you know

These three simple little words

That I want so much to show



I LOVE YOU! Why can’t I say it?

I LOVE YOU! Can you hear me now?

I LOVE YOU! Rewind it, replay it

I’d say it again, but I don’t know how



Damn it! I love you? And I’m sorry

If I were to say it, I might look dumb

I might hurt you, I might hurt us

Or hurt what we might have become



It hurts me to look at your face

And not be able to kiss you

To want to hold you in an embrace

So badly because I miss you



Soaking up everything you say

Looking deeply into your eyes

Afraid not to look away

Because of what I might surmise



“I LOVE YOU!”  Has never been so true

“I LOVE YOU!”  Has never brought more pain

“I LOVE YOU!”  You already knew

But I had to let you know again ~
