I grasp you in
My arms jokingly
Squeezing your cheeks
And then slapping
Your thighs
All this because
I am too afraid to
Say those three words
Those words that
Have been haunting
My mind since
I met you
Circling around
My mind
Entangling my
Every thought
Leaving me
Dumbfounded
Then as I pass
You in the halls
And we exchange a
Quick glance
My body
Quakes and quivers
And then
Times stops and
There is only you
Just you
Because that’s
The only thing
On my mind
And as I embrace
You, I sometimes
Hope that you
Hear those three words
Coming from not
Only my mind
But my heart
Those three words
That haunt my
Every dream
My every thought
Bringing me to
Think of you
Even when
I greatly desire
Not to
But here I am
Rambling
On and on
When I don’t mean to
Only because it’s
Hard to say
I Love You
