Break the Fall

You want to say "I love you" but you've kept it to "goodnight". You know love involves some falling, and I'm afraid of heights. Time has completely stopped before me, I'm frozen I don't know what to do. Everything I see, hear, say reminds me of you. Even though this won't last forever, I still feel a piece of me has been severed. I should have told you while I had the chance. The chance to hold you pull you in close... I've been fighting these mocking ghosts. For you I'll conquer my fears and fight back overflowing tears. I'm willing to take the fall. The fall for you, into your arms, and soon your heart. The fact we are separated tears me apart. They calming sound of your voice, the way you laugh, the way you smile, bring it back! How long is a little while? It's only been a few days and I'm going insane, how can I focus when unspoken words linger in my lungs and brain? Would it help if I said it now? Would it make things worse? Would it break your heart? Would you believe me if I said, would you believe it was true, if I looked at you in the eye, and said that "I love you"?
