I Love You With My Entire Being

Once, twice, more than a hundred times,
I ended up tongue-tied.
The words never seem
to come out right.

My thoughts, my eyes,
they were waiting to be read,
Still I’ve left a thousand,
too much, words unsaid . . .

Once, twice, more than a hundred times,
I lied.
I learned to keep everything
handled inside.

My heart, my voice,
they were waiting to be heard,
Still I’ve left a thousand,
too much questions unanswered. . .

Once, twice, more than a hundred times,
I tried.
But I never had the courage
to even take you to my side.

My chest, it kept screaming
that you’ve always been the one,
Still I’ve left a thousand,
too much, things undone . . .

I kept on wishing that I could lock you in my arms for a little while,
And just pretend that you were mine . . .
But I can’t even mention how much I love you now,
For I had ran out of time . . .
