I love you
There's something I've got to say.
It's been bugging me for a while.
Have you noticed how clumsy I've been?
Tripping over my own shoes, and choking on my own spit.
It's embarrassing I know, but you just smile and laugh.
You make me feel good about myself.
I know you are my best friend, but I want more.
When you walk by and smile, I feel my heart stop.
Is this feeling real, or is it really not?
I try not to doubt myself, and part away.
But I'm nervous as to what you will say.
My heart is beating faster now as I walk up to you.
I reach out, and tap your shoulder and wait.
You turn around, and smile at me.
I ask to talk to you alone, you smile and nod.
I pull you aside, and take a deep breath.
I grab your hands, and look into your eyes.
You smile at me, but you seem so surprised.
I stutter and stumble, finally I say it.
