I try to speak
But once I open my mouth
Nothing but air comes out.
You leave me breathless,
Grasping for words.
Ways to tell you
Everything that I want you to hear.
I need you to know
That no matter what
You will always be in my heart.
But I can’t tell you,
Because once I see you
It’s like hypothermia to my voice.
I freeze up.
My mind is a blank pool of thoughts and feelings,
And everything I knew I wanted to say
Vanishes.
