How hard can it be
to put a few words together
to let you know
I will love you forever.
But every time I want to
my tongue gets tied
and I end up embarrassed
and feel the need
to run and hide.
You look at me in puzzlement
and must think it’s strange
yet you still turn up on
the next date we arrange.
Maybe you do have
strong feelings for me
and have the patience to wait
until my tongue breaks free.
You can tell by my eyes
what it is I want to say
and you know you will hear
those words someday.
