Hidden Words

How do I let you know?
How can I make you see?
Which words would say best,
What you mean to me?
Will they ever make sense?
Where is my courage to say them?
How can I open my heart,
When it's something I always shy away from?
How can I explain,
This often unpredictable feeling?
That you're always on my mind,
Even when I'm dreaming.
What would you say if I told you,
That we should be together?
What would you think if I said,
We were made for each other?
What if I said your smile lifts my spirit?
I love the sound of your laughter,
How whenever I'm around you,
I always feel happier,
How I can't help but wonder,
If you feel the same way too,
Because I swear sometimes you look at me,
The way I look at you.
I know I shouldn't think it,
I know I shouldn't be pretending,
I'm just a lovesick fool,
Making something out of everything.
Maybe a stronger person would tell you,
Instead of leaving it to fate,
But I can never say 'I love you',
In fear you'll turn to hate.
I was afraid to fall,
But I'm afraid I have,
And how can I say this is good,
When all I know of falling is bad?
So instead I'll write them down,
These words so hard to say,
I'll fold this piece of paper,
And I'll hide it away,
But still I'll keep on hoping,
With my entire heart,
That someday you'll say you feel the same,
And we'll never be apart.
For now these words will stay hidden,
My lips will still stay sealed,
And I'll keep on not telling you,
All the ways I feel.
