To Tell You That I Love You
To tell you that I love you, without expecting it in return
To sit calmly in the silence as rejection starts to burn
To tell you that I love with my whole entire heart
To know it when weβre sat together or when weβre miles apart.
To really mean I love you, with my heart bursting full
To not hide it or constrain it with human logic and human rules
To be able to say I love you without using the words I speak
As proof. As fact. As evidence, for the validation that I seek.
So I will say to you I love you knowing it as truth from deep inside
I will write them. I will shout them. I will wear these words with pride
But I ask you do not say you love me, if the words do not stand true
Just take mine and feel them fully, as my precious gift to you.
