Honestly Dishonest

i've almost told you
a couple of times now,
how i really
      feel about you,
         that i think i am,
          in love with you...
but i don't know if
i could handle
your reaction, really
one way or the other
but,
i am honest with you
in all other things,
except, in how i love you...
--but as i see it now
that is the most
honest dishonest thing,
i can do with it.
