A Love Poem

I love you, I think.
But I'm too scared to tell you.
What if you don't feel the same,
And I ruin the friendship we grew?
I don't think I can ever tell you,
Just how it is I feel.
I don't even know what is true,
But I think I know I love you.

I love the way you show me
That kindness is never in vain.
I love the way you try to be
Someone who never has to feign.
I love the way your eyes ignite
When joy plays across your lips.
I love that smile of dazzling white,
That reminds me what it means to live.

I love the love that you show your friends,
The way you make us all feel wanted.
I love that with you, I never have to pretend
To be someone who always feels undaunted.
I love talking with you about anything,
And the way your voice can calm me down.
I love the way your words never sting,
And I just love when you're around.

I love your kindness, I love that you're wise,
I love your verity and I love your tries
To make me feel like someone again
That never has to use serotonin.
I love your smile and I love your eyes,
I love your beauty, but I love what lies
Beneath the surface of what shows,
I love your soul, what truly glows.

Sometimes I wonder, do you feel the same?
Or am I maybe just overthinking this?
Is my imagination really to blame,
Or am I maybe someone that you could kiss?
Is it really possible that you could love me,
Or is this all my wishful thinking?
Could I really even think to be
A person that you're missing?

Am I just lonely and tired,
Or could it be that this is real?
Could you really even love me,
And is this something that I can feel?
Do I tell you the truth, that I'm in love,
Or do I suffer on in solitude?
Is feeling wanted something I'm just deprived of,
Or is your love truly to be pursued?

I think that I'm in love with you,
But could you ever love me back?
Am I being fooled by you,
Or do you really love me back?
And does it matter if you feel the same,
If I never tell the truth?
Will it hurt if you don't love me back,
If I never say "I love you"?
