I want to love you,
but I don't know how.
I want to hold you, to protect you from harm,
but I'm afraid of ho you'll feel to me.
I want to show you someday,
just how strongly i feel for you,
but I'm afraid of how it will sound.
I'm afraid of possibly losing you one day,
giving you up to someone else.
I'm afraid of living my life,
with nothing left inside.
Dying an old man,
surrounded by strangers, by comparison,
not the one person that I love ,
the same one whom I've loved all these years.
Author notes
The girl that this is for will know right off.
this is one of the truest poems I've ever written.

beautiful Ryan. It's easy to see you really put your heart into it, that makes it really strong. Nice back round choice too.

so i'm not sure if i've mentioned this before, but i'm almost sorta sure that one word titles for poems are my favorite. it just makes it seem ... idk. but i like them and this one is no exception.
this is probably one of my favorites...even though that isn't saying too much since i'm horrible at picking favorites...anyway i think you get the idea.
we need to read again soon
(and by we i mean you, of course)
