I Love You


You saw me standing there and didn’t say a word But neither did I because I knew I would be ignored. Our hearts simultaneously beating faster Not knowing what to do When all I really want to say is: I LOVE YOU. But my throat won’t open and I can’t look your way For confliction starts to rise in a very uneasy way. What to do when my heart is split in two. When my heart says yes And my head says no. Not needing to consult the outside world To know that wanting to love him; It’s so wrong It’s right When I say those dangerous words to him: I LOVE YOU.
