Jane Meyer - This Love

I’ve never talked about this love before,
But I will not avoid it anymore.

You see, there’s this guy…
And with my feelings for him I’ve always been shy.

But someone knew, right from the start.
She knew this little man had a special place in my heart.

Well, guess what sis? You were right,
Even if your words were just teasing spite.

How many times did you say, ‘she loves him’?
How many times did I deny your comic whim?

Same as the number of times I whispered, “I love you, ”
And was kept awake at night, knowing it was true.

I wish I had the courage to tell him how I feel,
But I know that I don’t, I’d probably faint from the ordeal.

I don’t even have the strength to give his name,
Until I conquer that, things between us’ll stay the same.

For now, my fabrications will have to do,
‘til I can look him in the eyes, and tell him, “I love you.”

Jane Meyer
