A Love Letter... or Something Like One

Everytime I say "Goodnight"

I think "I love you." but never say it

And I don't know if I ever will

I wish I had the courage to

But my nerve fails and I delete the message

I write these poems hoping that you'll get the meaning

But I don't know if you even read them

I wish I was a bolder person

But if I was bolder, would you still like me?

My heart aches for you, but I can't know if you feel the same

I could ask but I fear that you would run away

What would you do? Would you run? Would you stay?

Questions like these plague my mind

Do they plague yours? Or are you just oblivious?

Thoughts like these race through my mind

They are the reasons why I don't say

"I love you" when I say "Goodnight"
