EXPRESSING OUR LOVE

How do I express what I feel?
Can I say this is real?
The thoughts and feeling that surround me,
Do they really express it to a tee?

How do I express this feeling in my heart?
Why does it ache when we are apart?
Do you feel the same way too?
Does it have any effect on you?

How do I express this emotion with words?
Can I make you understand with verbs?
Will my action scare you away from me?
Or will you let your feelings be?

You love me too, of that I am aware.
You love me too, and you do care,
But you battle with yourself each and every day,
Why don't you let things be, come what may?

It is not a crime to love someone like me,
Why can't you let our love be?
I love with every breathe I take,
I love you with every step I make.

Set your heart free so you can enjoy,
Come on ,man, you are not a boy.
Accept this love I offer to you,
All you have to admit is that you love me, too.
