Happy To Feel

I don't want to cross the line
And crash this party with feelings of mine
And bring out the things I hold inside

But how else do I continue to write these lines...

How many times can I tell you you're beautiful?
That your eyes pierce mine and see my soul?

That when you walk away I feel an empty hole?

That when you smile at me I'd done; I'm sold?

I don't want to complicate things

With wanting to be every song you sing

With wanting to show you what I think of you

I don't want to give away what I'd love to do...

How do I write poetry without using the heart in me?

How do I stifle this brewing potion?

To give up on the impossible notion,

It makes me feel like it's worth it all,

I'd rather say it out loud, nothing stops the fall...

Because I know this won't be what I can see

But that doesn't mean a girl can't dream

That doesn't mean I can't imagine it all

Why not let it out, it's nothing major but it's nothing small...

I know that I won't lose you just because I feel

I'm human, I am sensitive, and I say what's real

So know that all the stars in the skies

Could not compare to the light in your eyes

Know that all the love in the world,

All that could be between a boy and a girl

Is what I want you and I to have

But know that I don't dwell, I don't feel sad...

Because when I see that smile I melt,

Inside my heart, I hold what's felt

Somehow I never completely knew what you meant to me,

Somehow I kept it down until recently

And now that I acknowledge these feelings I'm free

So know that you make me nothing short of happy.
