Some Day

I’m a poet yet I can’t quite describe 
the way you make me feel
It’s a simple kind of dream-like 
state 
and yet I know it’s real..
So long I’ve held up my guard
So long I’ve protected both my 
heart and yours 
So long I’ve been too scared to 
open those doors
So afraid of what I might find if I 
decide to take that chance and 
confess, 
Confess that I adore your smile
Confess that someday I wish to 
walk down your isle
Confess that I can’t stop thinking 
of you
I’m scared to admit that this love 
might be true
I don’t know what to do..
Perhaps it’s best if you just never 
knew 
And yet I cannot contain what I’m 
feeling inside
This fire inside of me is starting to
hurt me
It grows bigger than I can contain
I just want to share it with you
Grow it bigger with you
What is love if I only have it for you 
but you do not know it
I love you
I love you 
I love you 
I love you
Something only my heart will know
for now
Something the world will never 
know 
Something you will never know
I love you 
I love you
I love you
I do not know how you feel for me
But I hope that some day
I will be able to tell you how I feel
And get set this ever growing, but 
caged-in fire, free.
