I love you

But it hurts.

I love you

It hurts more and more

The longer I hide it

I cry behind closed doors

I'm falling harder and harder

Each and everyday

I can see it in your eyes

I know you love me too

But I'm too scared

To say those three little words

Maybe if I was more confident

Then I could tell you

But I'm a coward

I run from my feelings

Because I have never felt this before

You make it look so easy

But it's hard for me

To be open to someone

Someone I truly care about

Someone I don't want to lose

Someone I want to spend the rest of my life with

You deserve more love than I could ever give you

So that's why I can't tell you

I love you
