An envelope that arrived on my door step
A minute ago
Read on the back
"Everything I could never tell you"
My hands tremble
anticipating the unknown
They slowly raise the paper fold
and remove a familiar blue piece of paper.
"Because I was afraid it would scare you away.
When I told you one thing, you looked at me
and decided to run away.
I thought about visiting you
To explain my strong feelings but I knew
you wouldn't let me stay.
I miss you so bad
That I can't enjoy our coffee time alone
your cup gets cold
That I can't find my comfy spot at night
when it was my arms around you
And I feel like I'm missing
because before you found me, it's true.
I've never wanted anyone
who would try to make me smile
the way you did
And I never want anyone
who might try to replace you.
Let me explain my strong feelings for you,
Let me explain them slower.
I'll slow everything down, I don't want to rush things
But I need to ask you about 'Forever'
I'm in the coffee shop
across from your place
keeping your cup warm
Please put that smile back on my face"
My hands have soften
absorbing the promise
They slowly raise the folded paper
to my heart
And I rush out the door
wearing his shirt I wore last night
Knowing, I'm no longer afraid to hear *"I Love You"
