Silent Vows

I want to scream "I love you"
But I'm silent

I want to tell you so bad
But I'm quiet
A war with my heart in my chest
It's violent

I want to tell that I love you
But I'm silent
See I told you once before
And you were silent

You said it was too soon for you
So I was quiet

I had finally gained the courage
You just sat there
I said I understood
But I go back there

Every time I want to say it
I revisit
Because if you couldn't tell me
Then what is it

I'm laying here screaming that I love you
While the pillow is on my face
Making it turn blue

I... I want to say it
Whisper it to you
If I could just do that
My dreams would come true

But... Only partially
Until you whispered it back to me

Then my tears would dry inside
And I would kiss you

I... I want to tell you that I love you
But rejection...
It's a hard doorway to run through

I love you too much
Just want your sweet touch

And I... I want to tell you...
That I love you

So please baby...
Let me tell that I love you

While I still do
And while it's still true
