To Admit

when I see you it sets my heart afire with feelings so strong
 
I saw this mistake when I felt my chances slip away
 
Remember the excitement of the first day?
 
you were so happy to see me after so long...
 
the truth is every day since I feel the same way
 
but I'm so afraid to lose you I hid my heart away
 
I couldn't risk losing you if things went wrong
 
and now I feel I don't belong
 
and it kills my poor, green heart
 
as I feel us begin to drift apart
 
but I'll stand aside and leave you to him
 
to make you happy I'll gladly throw my feelings away
 
though the thought of this fills my eyes to the brim
 
and to have you someday, each night I still pray
 
but now, though my hope is growing dim
 
I feel that I must tell you anyway
 
I've been cut out of the circle he's in
 
and it hurts so much every day
 
so I can't let the chance pass me by again
 
this is everything I feel I have to say
 
about the what and why and how I love you
 
Why do I love you? 
 
The ultimate question...
 
and the answer is so many things for so many reasons...
 
I love who you are; your character and your personality are truly unmatched
 
with your easy temperament, you always seem to get along with everyone
 
the kindness and respect you show for everyone is something i've never before come upon, 
 
your undoubtable integrity and undying loyalty are things to be cherished
 
these are things I have tried to replicate in myself to become a better person
 
your positive and humorous attitude towards life, has got me attached
 
you and I have so much history, thats why I don't want it to be history
 
you're the one who really understands me, the one who's always there
 
of all the friends I know, you are the most dependable
 
no one has ever been so loyal and trustworthy
 
no one has ever shown so much love and care
 
and above all, no one has ever been so helpful
 
in my depression you kept me afloat, even when I felt like I was drowning
 
you saved me when I couldn't have made it by myself
 
you pulled me from the pit of despair when I felt like I was dying
 
you believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself
 
you were still there when everyone else was leaving
 
you taught me that it's okay to just be myself
 
without you I wouldn't be where I am, yes, you saved me.
 
You are a little body with a big heart.
 
You spread happiness wherever you go
 
You are my mental definition of Beautiful
 
what are you?
 
You are contagious kindness
 
what are you?
 
and I struggle not to stare
 
at your cute, expressive face
 
and that gorgeous hair
 
beautiful flowing curls
 
or an adorably messy bun
 
it's positively distracting
 
for me (and everyone)
 
deep, emotional eyes, melt my heart at just a glance
 
the feeling I get when they look my way
 
sends adrenaline coursing through my veins
 
it only takes a second, to make my heart-rate dance
 
the most beautiful eyes on earth always make my day
 
everything else fades away until this is all that remains
 
and my attention is drawn to watermelon lips, looking oh so sweet
 
and how much I would give for yours and mine to meet
 
then you flash me one of your infectious smiles
 
which gets me day dreaming about a promise...
