When I saw you...I was afraid to talk to you
When I talked to you...I was afraid to hold you
When I held you...I was afraid to love you
Now that I love you...I'm afraid to lose you
While I had you...I fell asleep with a smile on my face
Before I lost you...I worried myself to sleep...
And I died when you left me...
But I lived for the months you loved me...
Until there was no you...I cried myself to sleep.
Now that I know you are gone...
I sit up at night, waiting for you to come back.
Sometimes love hurts...
But if it doesn't hurt...then it isn't love...
Hold on to the person you love before they slip away...
Or else you can never get them back.
How I Love You...
I can't tell a soul I love you
though my heart begs me to.
Every romantic song reminds me of you,
and every time I see a happy couple
I wish they were you and me.
Sometimes I write your name and stare at it wistfully
as I imagine how great our lives together would be...
but I can't tell a soul I love you.
I can't even tell you.
I wrote a poem about you,
trying to express the depth of my emotion,
hoping to make you understand the breadth of my devotion,
but the words were not enough.
I couldn't explain
how strongly I feel about you;
I couldn't describe the volatile mix of joy and pain,
because I can't tell a soul I love you.
Sometimes I feel like my need to see you is consuming me inside,
and sometimes when I think about you
I tremble...
my love for you is never easy to hide.
I called my best friend to explain how much I love you...
but the words stalled on my tongue,
and again, I had to pretend...
because I can't tell a soul I love you.
I sat on the beach and drew a heart in the sand
while I thought about you.
I imagined the joy of being with you,
of simply holding your hand.
I wanted to find you;
I wanted to tell you how much I love you,
and that I would always love you
no matter what you do.
As the tide dashed in to steal the heart
and carry it off to the sea where it would remain for eternity,
I decided that I can never tell you I love you,
but I will always try to show you.
