I can feel it on the tip of my tongue
As you grab my hand
Or pull me close.
As I kiss you, you hold me;
I can feel your heartbeat.
I can almost say it
Almost whisper it

But I make myself wait
For now is too soon

But I feel it on the tip of my tongue
And I have to catch it when I take a breath
So it doesn't fly out.

"I love you."
