I never had the courage.
I never had the bravery to say the words,
"I love you,"
"I need you,"
or "Don't leave me"
Because I was afraid.
I was terrified that you might hate me for loving.
I was scared that your answer might be,
"I'm sorry, I love you, but never in that way."
I was utterly scared of the thought of getting hurt.
I wasn't able to muster up the courage to transform these words,
To make them come alive, to make them speak.
And right now, these words that I trapped within me is slowly killing me.
They're the most painful form of torture for my soul.
They taught me that words do hurt, unspoken words hurt.
But sometimes, I think that it's for the best.
That way, I'll never forget you.
That way, you'll always be inside of me.
Although it is painful, I will bear it.
Until the day finally comes that I will be able to convey them,
To shout them straight, to profess my love for you.
And this time, I won't be afraid.
