Saying I Love You Now

For four years I have loved you
And right now I sincerely do
Exhausted from keeping these words unsaid,
Seconds wasted in secrecy to my own dread.

A better man will come one day
That's what I thought to my own dismay,
That's also why I didn't tell you this
But my heart and soul now in constraint felt amiss.

I'm here today to tell you my vow
As long as you will kindly allow, 
That I love you to the rest of my days and beyond, 
Permit it please so it doesn't ruin our bond.
