Just Speak

You are right beside me, but I can't find the words to speak.
Our future looks so very bleak.
Why can't I just say the words?
My heart just hurts.
I don't want to wait any longer
I can't help but wonder
How you really feel
Or if what you say is real.
I want to tell you how beautiful you are.
Why can't I just let it out?
All it takes is the opening of my mouth.
Just three words I want to say,
But I can't even look your way.
I hate to be so shy
Even my friends ask why.
I just love you so
More than you may ever know.
I'm afraid for you to see me.
I'm scared to drown.
I've already fallen anyhow,
But I fear I may drown in the remains of my melted heart.

How long have we been apart?
Hours or more?
It's been too long I fear
It feels like it's been years.
I know I can hide it no longer
Trust me when I say there will never be another.
My heart shall always belong to you.

My love please tell me what you feel.
For I can not speak when our future looks so bleak.
Poems cannot fathom what I feel
But I promise my feelings to be real.
