How Do I Tell You

How do I tell you that I love you?

When I know you will reject me!

Do I tell you that I dream about you every night?

And that I have believed for so long, that this side of me had been cut off.

Do I share that with you?

I think not…

I know you will reject me!

You have done it numerous times already.

And you don’t yet know how I really feel about you.

For I fear I do not have one more round in me,

That can handle disappointment.

Therefore I have also shut down to love.

They say when one is experiencing something and there is an attraction,

Normally the other is doing it as well at the same time.

So my fear is your fear!

But still…

How do I step out on that limb?

Knowing it will break me into pieces.

I have no doubt about rejection happening,

But still I feel something I cannot explain about you.

Not only do I love your voice,
