Language of Love

How do I express?

Those feelings suppressed

I wanted to write a letter long

Saying, to me you only belong

I wanted to send you roses red

A token of my love unsaid

I wanted to kiss your blushing cheeks

Of my passion for you, it would speak

I wanted to lend you a helping hand

To show, for you I will always stand

I wanted with you those moments of solitude

To read your thoughts beyond words misunderstood

The roses have dried

In the race of life, love was overtaken by pride

I shredded those letters of love

I had no control over the actions that my ego drove

I did not speak for you

Though I knew you were a man with words few

To take the first step, I waited for you

I tested the tides, your were shy I always knew

You never had the language to express

For love to thrive, you need to confess

How do I express?

Those feelings suppressed
