Too Late

I know this one isn't very good, but it describes a lot of who i am.

"I love you" She says

And old wounds are reopened.

Yet he lets her go on

His minds warning unnoticed.

Friends, then more?

Dating, perhaps?

In the end just three words

Will ruin it all.

Infatuation, Consternation,

Lust slowly dissolves trust.

A caution preserved, justly deserved

A lonely smile, so he stays a while.

But for how long can he wait?

Can she persevere for a full year?

6 more months to test her resolve

What might happen is his greatest fear.

Too long he has waited

For want not to say, but to feel

That feeling from before

Impossible to ignore.

Too long has he waited,

And now that he thinks it is true

He finds he can't say it

Three words, "I love you"

I like this one too. Sad, but very true for so many people, and you get it across well. You're a wonderful writer, and I love reading what you've shared :) Good job!
