Hiding Love

Taking a step back,

It's too soon,

But only time will tell,

For now I will say I like you.

 

But today,

You make me smile,

You make me stronger,

You make me better.

 

In the mist of it all,

I need to take time,

I need to heal,

But for you I would take a risk.

 

I know you are my strength,

You are my weakness,

You keep me safe when I fall,

You are my future and my past.

 

I say I like you,

But I love you,

I can hide this no longer,

Hold my hand,

I will hold yours

For better or for worse.

 

Take a step forward,

Trust your instincts,

Don't pretend you like when you love,

Take your heart and wear it on your sleeve.

 

It's scary but then you can live,you can dance and you can move on.Because I love you X
