Only You

 

No matter who I’m with or where I am
my thoughts are always on you,
I can’t seem to forget or move on
and I don’t know what more to do.
You mean so much more to me
than I ever thought someone could,
And it scares me to let go
even though I think that I should.
You monopolize my thoughts, my feelings
without trying or being aware,
I am left not knowing how to stop this
and I can’t bring myself to share.
My deepest secrets I have already told
during long talks and late nights,
But where my heart comes into the picture
I fear could never be explained just right.
My anxiety level keeps rising
the more I think about you,
I think I just might go crazy
over this bad timing I can’t undo.
There are just a few words I need to speak
this time to more than my reflection,
But telling you "I Love You”
could so easily lead to plain and simple rejection.
An absence of you in my life
I know I could not endure,
This secret love I have for you
I am surely in need of a cure.
How to tell you all my feelings
I have often dreamed of,
Amazing I have been able to tell you everything
except to profess my love.
Yet when it comes time to say the words
there will only be a few,
I’ll close my eyes, take a deep breath
and whisper “I Love You.”
