AFRAID TO TELL

I seem to freely give men my heart,

Always hoping that this time

He IS that special one and we'll never part.

This time I've decided not to let my feelings show,

For fear I'll scare him away;

Even hate me and not want to see me anymore

Without giving us a chance to grow.

I've been denying my feelings for weeks now,

Kept telling myself it was just infatuation.

But everytime I look in to his eyes,

I feel warm, happy and content;

But yet, I feel he'll discover the realization.

I know love doesn't come easy;

It takes time, so I'll just have to wait

To learn to trust him no matter how long it takes.

Love is a game of giving yourself and

    Taking what others give to you freely;

I do know I'm in love with him

But afraid to tell him for fear of being rejected.

My wish this holiday season is that

Someday he'll be able to tell me how he feels,

So I can tell him my feelings and assure him

There's only him in my life and what I feel is real.
