when i sit there beside you,
i think of ways to tell you how i feel,
but i find my throat constricts with
nervousness,
and those words are never said.
your body slightly pressed to mine,
so perfect in truth and reality.
when i smile at the words you say,
you smile back with so much admiration,
melting me in place,
grabbing hold of my heart,
and never letting go.
and your arms around my waist,
pulling me in for that sweet embrace.
i close my eyes,
rest my head against your chest,
and savor this moment of sweet intoxication.
those words slowly creep back,
right there bouncing on the tip of my tongue-
ready for me to say i love you,
hold me close like this forever,
run with me-far away,
please just marry me tonight.
but still those words refuse to be
said,
and they hang back in fear.
still we are only one step away.
