I Wish I Could Love You

"I love you", you say

I have no words on my tongue

As my chest tightens

Anxiety heightens

And the cement has locked my feet 

I want to run, to hide

I want so much that you could give me

And yet I don't want it from you

With each breath, I do not yearn for you

When waking,

I do not think of you

When dreaming, I do not dream of you

I wish I could love you too
