Her

A Poem to the Girl I Can't Tell My Feelings To

I think I love her.

Well,

Correction…

I know I do.

But the simple thought

Of loving someone

Who can not love me back

Is terrifying

Because the truth is

It’s something I don’t think I could survive,

Not again

Not ever.

Even saying it,

That three-word phrase,

In one line

terrifies me more than anything.

But that doesn’t matter

Does it?

Because at the end of the day

It doesn’t change the realization that,

I love

Her.

Her,

The one who knows my deepest secrets

That I would never dare

Tell another soul.

Her,

Who I can never seem to find

A reason to be mad at

Or argue with.

Her,

Who even on my worst days

I want to tell every aspect of it to

Just to hear her voice.

Her,

Who I joke about our future wedding and children with

But secretly take it more seriously

Than she’d ever know.

Her,

Who sees all my flaws

And still accepts me for who I am

And tells me I’m beautiful.

Her,

Who I’d buy flowers for

Every day of the year

Just to see her smile.

Her,

Who understands me,

The real me,

More than anyone I’ve ever known before.

Her,

Who sees my demons

And helps me face them

Head on.

Her,

Who makes me feel

Like I’m not so alone

Here in the world.

Her,

Who heard me screaming

In the middle of the crowded room

I've been trapped in for years.

Her,

Who without a word

Knows exactly what I’m feeling

From the look on my face.

Her,

Who makes me feel whole again

Like I’m not a shadow

Of a girl I once knew.

So I sit here now,

Writing about a girl who I can never have,

Being too afraid to tell her

How I really feel in one line.

I love

Her.

I love

Her.

I love, her.
