Love Too
“The birds faded out,
The trees stopped their swaying,
The whole world hushed,
And there was only you.
You and I, eyes locked tight,
As you mouthed those words that felt so right.
Just like everything around me, I fell silent.
The courage I had before was gone,
Because I hesitated and thought about it too long.
I was shocked, and couldn’t speak.
So hating myself, not knowing what to do,
I turned my head and walked away from you.
I wish I had the words to help you understand,
Part of me thinks you do.
It all happened in a matter of seconds.
I walked away from the truth,
I hate holding my feelings from you.
Someday I won’t hide it,
And I will tell you that I love you too.”
