If I Tell

If I tell how I feel about you
 how would you act?
If I tell you my secret will 
 you keep it with me?
If I tell my life story could
 you care a little more?
Would I tell you my all if
 I didn't trust in you?
Could I tell you now what I
 thought about you?
Should I tell you everything
 in risk of my feelings?
I need you to be there
 for me if I tell.

Incisive and concise and meaningful. "Time can say nothing but 'I told you so';/ if I could tell you, I would let you know."

Finding someone you can totally trust with your innermost feelings is so difficult and this fear being betrayed so often holds us back - great work Mark:-) hugs jan xx
