As I looked into his eyes <br />And found his longing stare <br />I stopped myself from saying the words <br />That would show how much I care <br />I put my hand up to his face <br />To hold my feelings in <br />I wouldn’t say the words again <br />To show my love for him <br />The last time I had told him <br />How much he meant to me <br />He put my hands away from his <br />And said to leave him be <br />I never spoke the words again <br />For fear of his deep fright <br />I thought it was the last time <br />Until that blissful night <br />His fingers traces around my face <br />Pushing hair away <br />And I was quite unprepared <br />For what he was to say <br />My heart beat quickly, <br />My head raced on <br />I thought that I might cry <br />He looked as if he might faint <br />Imagine this strong guy <br />Never would I be more impressed <br />With anything he’d do <br />Then when he took a heartful leap <br />And told me. “I love you.’<br /><br />Kasi Navadomskis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-finally-said-i-love-you-2/
