This Man

Written Feb. 25, 2006 - for Dean. I love you.

How can I tell you
The feelings in my heart
I want to speak
But my lips are frozen
Fear roots me to where I stand
And I am afraid of the pain
The pain seems so very sure
Like I can feel it
Coming for me far in advance
But I close my eyes
And replay today, this moment
When your eyes saw my soul
And drew me to your side
It tears my heart
Not being able to hold
This man I love so much

Author's Note

this is a very short poem, but i'd love any input you have on how to make it better.

It sounds fine, kind of an emotional grabber, like it.
