Do you want me to say that I love you?
Are those the words that you’re needing to hear?
If me saying that is all it would take
I would gladly say it to you, my dear

But things have not progressed unto that point
Deep inside my fettered and feeble mind
To say those things to you and mean them not
Is something that would be so, so unkind

As slowly my emotions upward come
To seek release in their proper forum
Strength and courage hope I to have someday
Deep and meaningful words of love to say
I’ll loose the dam of emotions inside
To nevermore my deepest feelings hide
