Don't Let Me Down

At 15, the words came so easily,
I could speak with a confidence so strange to me now.
No second thoughts as to whether or not
I should open my heart up
Open my mouth
And let out the words I needed him to hear.

No wondering as to whether or not
I should let him know
All the things that I feel.

And now,
With these years behind me,
And so many lessons learned
It should be so simple to tell the first one
Who has made me feel this special since
the first one
All the things that I feel
And the words that I need him, so desperately
To hear.

But I'm frozen in place.

So I'll kiss you a thousand times
And then ten hundred more.
And I'll stroke your hair and
Hold your hand and
Try to fit a lifetimes worth of feelings into a
Single glance.

And I won't let you down.































(because I love you)
