If I told you I love you
What would you say?
If I told you I love you
Would you push me away?
Would you break my heart?
Or would you claim it as your own and take care of it?
Would you say it back? Or just laugh in my face?
I would ask for the truth, even if it hurts.
I would tell you not to laugh because that would hurt more.
I say this now, for what I’m about to say is true.
For what I’m about to say, I have felt for so long.
I love you.
I love you to the farthest point in space and back. And then some.
I. Love .You.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem because I have wanted to tell this guy how I feel about him, but have never gotten the courage to tell him. And I never will, because I am too afraid. NEVER be afraid though, always tell people how you feel even if it will hurt you or embarrass you in the end. Because it could turn out that, that person feels the same way. NEVER hold back on love.
