When I see you
my heart speeds up
and a smile spreads
across my face
i can't help it
its just a reaction
its just a reaction
yet last night i let it slip
it came out without permission
for everyone to hear
the words i've been trying to hide
to hide from you
to hide from me
to hide from them
for if i let it out
i dont know what i would do
my heart would be an open book for all to read, all to touch
they will see and they will know
the same thing i have known
but am to afraid to say
the words that try
to burst from me
on a daily basis
but i think its best
if i lock those words
tight into my heart
their inside me fluttering around
just waiting to get out
the words
i love you.
