Is It Too Much?

Can you look me in the eye and say you love me?
Can you open up your mouth and let me know?
Can you say it to my face, or is it too much of a disgrace?
I hope you find the will somehow

Is it too much to say, I love you?
Is it too hard to let me know you try
Am I doing something right, or did I do something wrong?
When I give you my heart, should I have to wait for a reply?

I thought things would be different
And Im not quite sure why
Im wondering what you would do
If I would start to cry

So I tried to gage your reaction
To an outward expression of love
And was highly dissapointed
You couldnt get up and rise above 

Is it too much to say, I love you?
Is it too hard to let me know you try
Am I doing something right, or did I do something wrong?
When I give you my heart, should I have to wait for a reply?

Sitting alone in a cafe booth
Staring at the time
Waiting for you to arrive
Waiting for you to be mine

The waitress walks over
And tell me they're about to close
I get down on my knees
And beg for his repose

I run outside in the cold damp rain
Screaming to the sky
Why would you put me through so much pain
When all I wanted was for you to be mine

Is it too much to say, I love you?
Is it too hard to let me know you try
Am I doing something right, or did I do something wrong?
When I give you my heart, should I have to wait for a reply?

Ten days later walking down the street
I saw you standing there
I asked you what you want
And all you could do is stare

When I started walking by
You got down on one knee.
You took my hand, and whispered:
Will you marry me?

Was it so hard to say, I love you?
Was it worth it to take a stand?
I thought that we were wrong, but choosing you was right
Now understand, and take my hand
As we walk...through....time.

Daniel, for some people it is hard to say the words but they express love through their actions. You found the affirmation you needed when she proposed. There was a fella in my life who could not bring himself to say "I love you," but his actions assured me he did. This poem had a special meaning for me. Very nice work! Love, carolyn
