That Faithful Leap Poem by Ashley Olson

As i looked into his eyes
and found his longing stare
i stopped myself from saying words
that would show how much i care
i put my hand up to his face
to hold my feelings in
i wouldnt say the words again
to show my love for him
the last time i had told him
how much he meant to me
he put my hands away from his
and said to leave him be
i never spoke the words again
for fear of his deep fright
i thought it was the last time
until that blissful night
his fingers traced around my face
pushing hair away
and i was unprepared
for what he was to say
my heart beat quickly, my head raced on
i thought that i might cry
he looked as if he might faint-
Imagine this strong guy
but never would i be more impressed
with anything he'd do
than when he took that heartfelt leap
and told me, 'I love you'
