i came across tis poem...
and fell in love with it...


He Finally Said, "I Love You"

As i looked into his eyes
And found his longing stare
I stopped myself from saying words
That would show how much I care
I put my hand up to his face
To hold my feeling in
I wouldnt say the words again
To show my love for him
The last time I had told him
How much he meant to me
He put my hands away from his
And said to leave him be
I never spoke the words again
For fear of his deep fright
I thought it was the last time
Until that blissful night
His finger traced around my face
Pushing hair away
And I was quite unprepared
For what he was to say
My heart beat quickly, my head raced on
I thought that i might cry
He looked as if he might faint-
Imagine this strong guy
But never would I be more impressed
With anything he'd do
Than when he took that heartfelt leap
And told me," I love you."
