I Love YouA Poem by Makenna
Every day I watch you
In my heart, I wonder... If I said it--what would you do? Would you push me away? The words are on the edge of my tongue When your eyes meet mine I can't do it--the words fade and I just smile I glance away Ashamed of my cowardice Every day I listen to you talk In my heart I wonder... If I told you--would you still be my friend? I feel the words rising to my lips again But then you laugh and look at me My heart stops for an instant and I smile at you I look away as I laugh But my heart breaks Because all I can think about Is how I feel And how I'm too scared to admit the truth to you Every day, all I think of is you Your laugh--your smile--the way my heart thumps Whenever you look at me I cry myself to sleep Because I'm in love But I can't ever admit it Because you would never feel the same The world wouldn't approve You don't "swing that way" It could never work for us A million reasons I think to myself Justifications to continue holding my secret I hate myself more every day And I hate you-- For making me feel this way For being so beautiful For being my friend For being in my life But I can't truly hate you Because the truth is you're my best friend But it's more than that I can never say it You would be shocked You would never believe me If I said it What would you say? Would you say it back? Here's the truth: I love you © 2014 MakennaAuthor's Note
