Stuff/Junk etc.
Unsent Valentine

I never said "I love you",
Never knew you wanted me to.
I couldn't send you roses,
For the fear that you would refuse.

But now I'm told your mind has changed,
Your feelings may be mine.
Yet I am to initiate,
Make our hearts beat in time.

You've never said you loved me,
Though you knew how I wanted to hear,
With your hand in mine;
Side-by-side;
That gentle murmur in my ear.

I fear unfounded consequence,
Sabotage true happiness for us both,
Not seizing at the moment,
Instead trusting to my hope.

We've never shared "I love you"s,
Perhaps it had become implied?
But I'll forever hate myself,
To know I never tried.

I must strive to overcome,
Each fibre of myself.
Express the truth,
And act out what I've felt.

I must say "I love you",
Or else I'd tell a lie.
But if I can say "I love you",
Surely you could give it a try?
