my heart felt it could burst
I Its so hard to
get these words out
But I know I must succeed;
I have to tell you face to face
and tell you what I need.
Everyday I try
and try but
the words die in my throat.
Still day by day I try to say
these words which I have sought.
Hint after hint
I drop at you
Yet somehow you missed them all
Somehow you never tell me or
answer these silent calls.
Day by day these
words I swallow
And my heart felt it could burst;
Somehow or other you have to know
Before the desperation kills me first.
Strange how these
words are said
These words that's simple yet true;
No matter how simple, they are hard to say
These words are "I love you."
II Darling here
we are again
talking about nothing much;
my heart is bursting with love and all
you're talking are weathernews and such.
I should just
blurt these words out
Yet I think I feel a bad omen;
But I know these words must somehow come out
or my heart will slowly burn.
I did it then,
I'll do it now
I whispered the words to you;
Yet again you didn't notice it
Yet again my hope you killed.
Suddenly a girl
joined us and
she gave you a big bright smile;
And suddenly I had a feeling that
the distance between us increased by miles.
"Mary I'l like
you to meet Jane"
you said. "She is my first girlfriend."
And though I smiled my tears gave way
When she took and held your hand.
III Now that was
then and this is now
When I first saw you both together
And though I'm glad you're happy with her
I can't help but think I'm better.
And day by day
my feelings drowned
These words drowned with them too.
And one by one these feelings died
These feelings were "I loved you".
