"If I confessed"

@Uootem

How would you react, if I told you the truth that lives within my heart
I have pondered that question in my mind... and if I did, where to start?
If I confessed, of how I have loved you through all these years,
Would you be outraged, or feel uncomfortable, experience fears
And wish I that I had kept this insanity to myself?

Or would my confession have such a different effect
would you tilt your head, smile apprehensively, and elect
to set free a similar confession of your own
of how young love can hold on when we are grown?
And provide me with proof that I am sane after all.

Would you hold your own thoughts unspoken,
in silence leaving my heart still broken,
as I stare expressionlessly at the floor,
my soul still yearning for words and much more?
All this... just to lead me to confusion once again?

I struggle with the potentials of these bold acts
How will you react when I tell you the facts
of my unending love and the dreams of countless night
I fear a negative response would seal me in a poignant plight
If I confessed, and told you the whole story... of how I still love you.
