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.
... All day long, I thought about you.
Even when I tried not to think about you,
I thought about you. When I closed my eyes,
I thought about you. When I opened my eyes,
I thought about you. When I thought about the beauty of the season,
I thought about you. When I thought about the warmth of the
upcoming holidays,
I thought about you. When I heard a love song on the radio,
I thought about you. When I checked my email, I thought about you.
Even when I said goodnight to the stars, I thought about you.
And when I slipped beneath the softness of my blanket
and gave in to the bliss of sweet dreams,
I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!
