As I look into his eyes
And found his longing stare
I stopped myself from saying words
That would show how much I care
I put my hand up to his face
I hold my feelings in
I wouldn’t say the words again
To show my love for him
How much he meant to me
He put my hands away from his
And said to let him be
I never spoke the words again
For fear of his deep fright
I thought it was the last time
Until that blissful night
His fingers traced around my face
Pushing my hair away
And I was quite unprepared
For what he was to say
My heart beat quickly, my head
Raced on. I thought that I might cry
He looked as if he might faint
I I imagine this strong guy but never would I be more
Impressed
With anything he’d do
Than when he took that
Heartfelt leap
And told me “I love you! ”
