Love Untold
As I lie here,
And death draws near,
I never told you,
How much I love you.
Your hair enraptures me,
Your eyes hypnotize me,
You keep my heart in a firm hold,
We go together like a shape and a mold.
When will I spit it out,
That I love your eyes drawn into a pout,
That I love you when you think I don't,
If you think I'll hurt you, well I won't.
You think that I am brave and strong,
But I never told you that all along,
That I was in love with you,
That is a cowardly thing to do.
Don't be mad that I never told,
But love is a thing that doesn't grow old,
And even though I lay near death,
I love you no more less.
So now I told you what I couldn't,
What I should have but just didn't,
But I love you more than you know,
And now I'm slipping away into shadow.
Don't forget me my loved one,
Just because I died doesn't mean the love is undone,
Saying I'm sorry might grow old,
But I never should have left this love untold
