Holding Back

When you speak to me
You act as if more is to come
There are words left unspoken
At the tip of your tongue
But they can’t be spoken
You’re holding it back
How you feel about me
You want to say more
But just can’t
I know you feel this way
I’ve been there too
I’m there right now
When I talk to you
I want to say I love you
Hold you in my arms
And never let you go
But I hold back
And I don’t know why
Maybe I don’t want to lose you
Maybe I don’t want to hurt you
