Too Scared...

I can't say the words...
I want so badly to tell you
I hope that you feel the same way
But I can't say the words.

I hang around you.
I stand as close as I can to you.
I hang on your every word...
But I can't say the words.

I talk to you whenever I can,
I show concern for your needs.
I tell you how much I appreciate your thoughts,
But I can't say the words.

I let you rest your arm against mine,
I thrill when you touch my shoulder,
I love when you are close,
But I can't say the words.

I tease you about stuff,
I create worlds for you,
I show I was listening to your every word,
But I can't say the words.

I worry about losing you,
I am desperate for you to know,
I long to be with you,
But I can't say the words...

You're a really sharp guy,
So I hope you catch on.
I want to know how you feel,
Because I can't say the words.
