Feelings You Never See

Bottled up inside,
Are feelings you never see.
You never see how I really feel,
How I really feel when you glance
At me and make every bone in my
Body jiggle with excitement.

You never see how I really feel,
When you grab my hand to dance,
My whole body rises with a settling feeling.
When you hug me,
Even for a split second, the settling feeling
Comes alive.
A feeling that makes me think,
“This is right. This feels right.”

One year, two months, and a week,
My feelings have been strong for you.
I’ve shed tears and spread cheers for your sake.
For the first time in my life,
I finally feel happy.

So please,
Do yourself a favor,
And tell me how you really feel,
Before you frustrate me so much,
I spontaneously combust.
