Not Yet....

I may be young
I may act childish
But I know my feelings
I know whats going on.

The words "I love you"
Is very powerful
And should only be said if you mean them
And so I shall not say I love you, just not yet.

I try to hold back my feelings
I try to hold back the words
I try to hold back my love for you
Its just hard to hold back from you

You hold me in your arms
And then you whisper in my ear "I love you"
I look down and start to cry
Because I know I must not say I love you

I won't let my feelings, mess up my heart.
I won't let my heart get confused with love and hurt myself.
I must not let anyone know about my feelings
I must not let the words come out.

The words "I love you"
Is powerful
I may mean them at the time
But what happens in the future and I stop loving you?

I can't tell you a lie
I can't tell myself a lie
I just can't lie to anyone

I may mean them now
But you can never know about the future.
If I tell you I love you
I want the words to be true.

If I say I love you
I want the meaning to be true
I don't want to say "I love you"
And then turn around and take them back and break your heart.

I just don't think I can tell you I love you
Just not yet,
The words I love you
Have to be true

And if you love me
And you want to be with me
You will understand why I can't tell you the words "I love you"
