FEELINGS

You can't turn them off and on

Like a light switch or pushing a button.

They have to come from within

Your soul and from your heart.

You start by being best friends,

Not rushing or pushing too fast forward.

If it's meant to be, feelings will arise

On their own-slowly in time.

When the moment has come

To say those three little words-

They will be spoken from the heart

And not the mind.
