Unspoken

Would I have the courage
To touch your lips with mine
Put into action
The words I utter

Would I have the courage
To tell you
My heart beats your
Name

And time passes like
An ocean through a sieve
As I wait for the day
When I can be with you
And you’d tell me
Your heart belongs
To no one but me

Would I have the courage
To be brave
And stop laughing
And say with a straight
Face
It is you
Only you
And I would wait
Until what’s wrong
Becomes right
And I would wait
When there
Turns into here

Would I have the courage
To whisper
I love you
You’d be beside me
And I would be free.
