My love swells inside my heart
like roiling waves on a storm tossed sea
my emotions threaten to drag me down
under dark waves of despair
as I imagine you with someone else
my silent nature keeps me locked
inside myself
unable to utter those three small words
that could change my life
inside I'm screaming them
while outside I don't dare whisper
maybe someday you'll realize
those words I never said
were always there
I Love You

coughs Ahem...this was written in a moment of complete insanity...OK, maybe not but I'd like to think so. Embarrassing beyond belief, but apparently liked it so I'll leave it to you to decide.
