Secret Love

I’ve spent many days contemplating

The words to say to you

But the words are stuck in my throat

Trying to escape

 

Day after day

I sit here

Starring

No words have found their way out

Not yet at least

 

But as I sit here

I think about you

Will I ever tell you the truth?

 

The Truth?

How can I ever tell you the truth?

When I can’t even get the words to come out my mouth

What can I do to show you how I feel?

How can I show you how much you mean to me?

 

I think about you all the time

You mean so much to me

Hurt by the way you treated me

But I still long for you

I want to be with you

 

Will I ever tell you that?

Will I ever express how I feel?

How can I ever show you how I feel?

I wonder if you feel the same way about me?

 

Oh, why is the truth so hard to say?

Why do I do this to myself?

Why doesn’t anyone stop me?

Please stop me

 

The truth is so hard to deal with

So hard to express and to show

I just wish that I could express how I feel about you

 

Will you accept my love?

Will you love me back?

I will never know

Until the truth comes out

But sadly it never will
