What i know

Everyday i get the urge to say,
something i know i feel,
but everyday i see,
in your eyes,
your not ready for what i know,

we can lay there in each others arms for hours,
starring into each others eyes,
knowing that nothing can ever be as special as that moment,
and yet I'll open my mouth to say the things i know,
and shut it again because i know that you are not ready,

i know that if i said it,
the pain of not saying it would be lifted,
but knowing that if i keep this pain,
i will not push you away,
it means i might keep you just a little longer,

i know the inevitable must come,
i know that at some point you'll leave and i may regret not saying what i know,
but right now all i care about is being with you,
so what i know will stay my secret,
my secret being i love you.
