I wanted to tell you something

I'm not sure what I'm doing here,
Or if I'm even supposed to be here.
I just wanted to tell you something,
But now I'm not sure it's a good idea.

I've played it over in my mind,
So many times it's driving me insane.
I know what I want to say,
But each time I play it back you say something different.

I feel almost helpless,
The fear of the unknown rises inside me.
I should just turn away now,
And save myself the trouble of humiliation.

But I need to tell you,
I WANT to tell you.
The words choke up in my throat,
I try to speak but all I can do is stammer.

I see you smiling at me,
Those gorgeous eyes peering right into my heart.
Why do you have to do that?
Now I have to say something.

I make idle chit chat just to pass the time.
Hoping that you didn't notice.
I disappear off into my thoughts,
Ashamed of my own nerves.

I only wanted to tell you one thing,
One thing that means so much to me.
Ever since I've met you you've been amazing.
I just wanted to tell you that I love you.
