tempted to
tell you the
complete truth
to make you see
how far my love
for you goes
i think i'm safe
in showing this
passion
i think you'll
understand
biding my time
waiting for the
perfect moment
for the bond between us
to glow brightly
for the trust to
warm my heart
i found that opportunity
tonight
i drank in your warm smile
inviting eyes
nothing's felt
more right
the words came
by themselves
my heart raced
as silence smothered
my confession
then suddenly plummeted
through the bottom of my soul
when your smile faded
