If I Love You*

This isn't pretend anymore
I just can't turn and walk away
You've got this hold on me
That is pushing me to stay

I cannot say I heart you
Cuz I know without a doubt
This feeling is much stronger
And I need to let it out

I'm scared to tell you everything
My true feelings I do hide
I need to let you know
Just what I feel inside

I can't just let you walk away
And I can't set your heart free
I am waiting the day to say
How much you mean to me

If I were to say I love you
Tell me what would you say
Would you say it in return
Or would you run away

I want to tell you everything
But I just don't know how
I need you more then ever
I need to hold you now

This poem is just my way
Of expressing whats on my mind
Behind this poem there is a story
A story you cannot find

In many words I will describe
This feeling that I bare
Theres no words to explain it
It’s far beyond compare

I will admit I'm scared
I've never felt this lost
But all I know is to be with you
I'd conquer any cost

I've never felt like this before
It's a truly amazing rush
I have a feeling that this is love
Not just another crush

It came upon us suddenly
We fell so hard so fast
It took us by great surprise
But I feel that we can last

And though we have just barely met
I can tell by how I feel
This isn't something to just give up
This time this is for real

You understand me better
Than anyone has before
I think I know just how I feel
But I think that you know more

You know just what to say
And you know just what to do
When you look into my eyes
I can tell that you are true

When you hold my hand
A feeling shoots through me
It feels so strange, but oh so right
It makes me feel so free

And when you hold me close
When your hands are on my side
I feel so safe, so damn secure
This feeling cannot be denied

So if someday I tell you
Of these feelings in my heart
Just know that I mean what I say
I've loved you from the start
