I Can’t Say

You don't know,

How wonderful you are.

I've never met anyone like you

You make me feel so happy inside,

Like nothing can hurt me.

I like you,

But I can't say.

I can't say,

From the fear of ruining what we already have together.

I can't say,

Because of all the letdown,

And rejection,

And hurt.

I can't tell you, that I want to be the one you come to,

When you're sad,

Or hurt,

And you need someone.

It's so hard,

To let go,

Of something you love.

I wish you would try with me.

And I could make you happy,

I could make you smile,

And try to keep away the pain.

But for now,

I'll stay with you,

And support everything you do.

I'll make sure to make something out of what we have.

But I can't say.

Not yet.
