Why Can't I...

Why can't I say I love you,
Why can't I say that I do,
Why can't I say I will always be there,
Why can't I just tell you I care,
Why can't I seem to find the words to say,
Why can't I just tell you how I feel today,
Why can't I stop being such a coward and a fool,
Why can't I say it here or at school,
Why can't I just be brave for one day,
Why can't I stop walking away,
Why Can't I hold you in my arms forever and always,
Why can't I hold your hand while walking through the hallways,
Why can't I let you know that you have my heart,
Why can't I tell you that I hope we never part,
Why can't I just swallow all of my fears,
Why can't I tell you I love you around our peers?
