I love you,
I could never let these words escape the prison of my lips
Yet, they’re determined to be let out
They’re doing everything they can, even now
But I bite my lip so as not to be tempted to release them
I can’t bear the consequences
Of this truth
Not yet
Right now I don’t see any way for us to be
Any more than friends
Yet I feel it
The Love is buried deep inside
Burning me alive
No matter how hard I try to extinguish it
It’s always there
Some days it’s easier to shove down and hide
Some days my love has no problem falling through the many cracks in my heart and tucking itself away
While other days this feeling becomes too overwhelming
It spills over the brim of my heart
Splashes butterflies into my stomach
Flows to the outskirts of my soul
And for good measure
Washes over my brain
Even slapping it in the process
Maybe that’s why…
Maybe my brain was knocked so hard
That now I have a concussion
It’s only logical
There’s no other rational explanation for why I feel this way
For why I desire you
For why I want so badly to say I love you
