So hard

I want to tell you
But I'm not sure
why its so hard
to say these words
when all I want is
the same in return
why do I feel
frightened and unsure
why do I shake and my stomach turn
all I want to say
is three simple words
I thought they were great
but I am afraid
they will break
you mean everything to me
but why is it hard to breath
I feel as if I am turning white
so I guess for now
I'll keep my heart closed tight!
