I Love You

I should tell you, I love you, I do

House and Cuddy were at the movies and House was paying more attention to her than to the movie. They had barely said a couple of sentences since he picked her up. House had no idea how they were going to make it through dinner after the movie. House kept looking at her. He knew that he should tell her how he feels.

My words should explain, but the words won't come

He knew that he should explain to her exactly how he feels. He wanted to tell her everything when he picked her up, but the words fell right out of his mouth.

I shouldn't hide my love deep inside

My words should explain, but the words won't come

House was so used to hiding everything inside of him. He was afraid to open up to Cuddy because he did not know if she felt the same way for him.

I should tell you just how I feel and I keep trying

It had taken House a couple of years to even ask Cuddy out. He knew that he needed to speed up the process a little if he did not want to lose her.

But something holds me back when I try to tell you

House than got that nagging feeling back that told him not to reveal to much to her. Cuddy could hurt him like Stacy hurt him.

If I can find the words in my mind

The words could explain, but the words won't come

House knew that he would have to use his words correctly to tell her just enough, but not too much in case she did not feel the same.

If you could see what you mean to me

My words should explain, but the words won't come

House just wished that Cuddy already knew so he would not have to say anything. He also knew that would not be fair to her. She needed to know for sure how he felt.

And oh how hard I try to tell you I love you

But something holds me back when I try to tell you

House just wished Cuddy knew about the internal struggle in his mind. She would know what to say to him to make it better.

I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I do

House was screaming the words in his mind to her.

Cuddy turned and looked at House, who was still looking at her. She smiled at him. "What?" She asked him.

"Do you want any popcorn?" House asked as he looked into her eyes.

"I can wait until dinner," Cuddy said. "Thanks for asking."

House sighed knowing that he just flaked out again on telling her that he loved her.
