how would you feel,
if i told you i loved you?
would you be there?
would you?
could we be side by side?
and when we're apart
can our hearts remain together?
my heart drips the name of you.
your eyes smear across my vision.
always in my sight.
always on my mind.
the screams in my head
block out all
but your name still screams through it.
how can i be sure?
how would you feel
if i told you i'm yours?
would you keep me?
would you?
would you keep me on the shelf
and let me admire you from afar?
or would you hold me close
like i was the last possession you own.
would i be your puppet?
would you pull my strings?
would you let my wooden mouth
tell you how much i love you?
or just sit in silence
let our hearts speak for us.
how can i be sure?
how would you feel
if i told you nothing
no "i love you"
no "i'm yours"
we could stay friends
we could laugh
we could smile
could handshakes and hugs
mean more than the love in your heart
the softness of your skin
the passion of your lips.
how can i be sure?
how would you feel?

Yes it can, I very much agree there, but if true love is there it will conquer all, and I wish you the best of luck with this person, as your write seems very heartfelt, good luck in my contest, Josie

ooo i know exactly how you feel
this is a good one
thanks for entering and good luck -
these at the beginning are questions that each of us ask ourselves at some point i think, wondering, trying to seek the truth. i like your imagery though, 'my heart drips the name of you'. unique, at least to my knowledge. (just to point out though: 'across' about midway down the 1st stanza. just a typo i think). i wish you the best of luck with your situation. the only advice i can think to give is make sure you truly love them before you risk your friendship and do your best to find out if they like you that way too before you tell them. hope it works out for the best!
