How To Say I Love You Poem by Concetta Salter

I'm scared to say I love you.
I'm scared to even try.
Though those words are true.
I'm scared down deep inside.

I never thought i'd find you.
My hearts one missing piece.
Your like a dream come true.
So why can I not speak?

I'm scared that you'll reject me.
That you'll reject my love.
I'm scared that would leave.
I'm scared that you might run.

Your eye's are always loving,
while locked upon my own.
Is that a sign of something?
Of love? I do not know.

I wish I had some power.
A way to read your mind.
And yet i'd proably cower,
in the fear of what i'd find.

Time is slowly wasting.
And I know I must confess.
I feel my body shaking.
And I know I look a mess.

Before my mouth is open,
You take my hand in yours.
Your words are softly spoken.
Though spoken like your sure.

You tell me that you love me.
You tell me how you feel.
Words seem hard to speak.
When all else seems unreal.

I say I feel the same.
I say I love you too.
My heart that once was caged,
set free by love from you.
