TW: None
The sun shining brightly,
Leaves gently rustling,
A soft breeze flowing through
As soft grey clouds drift by
I watch you,
Smiling, laughing, being happy
I smile, seeing you happy,
But i wish I could be the source of that happiness
I love you but I can't tell you
I didn't know if you felt the same,
So I didn't want to tell you,
I was scared
On that fateful day,
The day you asked me to join you on a forest walk,
I happily agreed,
After all,
I loved spending time with you
After a short while,
You told me how you felt,
You said those fateful words
"I really like you"
My heart fluttered,
I was overjoyed,
Yet, I felt something stronger
And I couldn't say the right words
"I want to say I love you"
There was a silence,
I couldn't say it,
And I could see your expression change
One of love, to one of worry
I wanted to be the source of your happiness, not sadness.
I had to say it, I knew I did
But I was scared,
I didn't know if you felt just as strongly
"I love you"
I said it
I waited for your response
You smiled, and embraced me
I accepted it,
Feeling the weight of my shoulders,
Your embrace was warm,
It made me feel safe, loved
Finally,
You became my world, and I became yours
I want you to stay by my side, forever
