I need to know

I sit here alone
Not sure what to write
I have so much to say
Words just seem so trite

Why does my mind
Make me think this way?
My thoughts as I sit alone
Are the same on every day

It is hard not to show
How I feel about you
I can’t help but share
When I know you feel it too

I need to know something
Something that you’ve let me know
But even as I think of you
My mind won’t let it go

You know I love you
And you feel the same way
But when I tell you, touch you
Is everything okay?

I remind myself what I know
The way of truth and right
The things that should govern our way
For this I pray every night

Yet there is something so strong
That takes me back to you
Would my love be so powerful
If it were really so taboo?

There is something I cannot hide
But want to make it right
I just don’t want to hurt you
I need to know you’re alright

I need to show you I love you
But want to know it’s okay
More than all, I care about you
Each and every day
