Sometimes I want to tell the truth
Blurt it out to see what you would do
But that scares me, very much so
What would you do if you were to know

Maybe that's why I use these poems
So I can speak to you, subtly so
Maybe I'm content to ride this hope
Never have to hear you say no

I care for you I truly do
If you knew you might care too
I think you are perfect, flawless, I do
But I know it's not entirely true

I know you have some problems inside
You try to run and hide
I know you're hurt, pain on your face
I know it won't disappear with my embrace
I know I must be patient
To hope to make a dent

But I also know one day
It will all fade away
So I will wait
To say what I need to say
