Hear Me

(I can no longer see you
There is only a shadow of doubt
Lurking in the back of my mind.)

If I don't say the words
Does that make the feelings any less powerful?
Can I live with the knowledge
That you never knew, and we never were,
And I may be the only one to blame?

"What ifs" fill my thoughts
Because I know that every day is a miracle -
A beautiful thing,
And there is always the possibility of this new day being our last.

I can't go on without telling you this one thing.
Until I speak the words,
I can never move on.
You are a burden that I need not carry,
Because I can get over you by simply telling the truth...
That I love you
And I can't let go;
I can't rest until you hear me.
