i love you

I don't want to feel afraid anymore.

I want to be happy for what I’m going to do
I want to tell you how much I love you.

In a way it doesn't seem too big to handle,

in a way it doesn't seem too small to be cast aside,

in a way it doesn't seem like a total joke, in a way it doesn't seem like it's just another bundle of words together.

But I don't know how to.

How to tell you I love you in the way I would want it to come out.

I want to see the anticipation from your face before I can even say these words out.

I want to see the smile slowly emerging out from that little face of yours.

I want to feel the butterflies in your heart.

I want to know you feel the same way too.

Sometimes I feel "I love you" is too short a phrase for all that to be evident.

And it’s too short to tell you how much I love you.
