Sad Regrets Locked In Enduring Silence

How often and how loud words wanted to burst out, and let everyone know with my tender blink... what I felt all along, but never had showed it! Here's my chance to unafraidly talk, let's chat while we take a long walk; would a sincere heart hold back its love in deeper, quiter sound, when everything it has done...was sweet, lovely and profound? Adored friend, listen to these sad regrets locked in enduring silence...once so doubtful and unwise; help me reveal them, and how glad these eyes would be, if you could catch them in your caring hands. Forgive me for not having been honest, and hidden these precious words behind this timid chest; you must have felt that need for utterance, and anxiously waited for that moment with kindly patience. And finally, I've found that courage to openly say them, " Love shouldn't be held back, but be truly free to express itself; I have repressed all the beautiful feelings for a foolish fear, now, be certain that they will delight you in wonderful ways, dear!"
