Confession

There's just something about you
Always has been always has been, always will
That catches my eye consistently
And gives my heart a thrill

I will never understand it
The way you make me feel
It's just the way you look at me
So there's nothing I can conceal

You probably already know this
You see right through to my heart
But I've yet to outright say it
So here's where I'd like to start

I'd like to say I'm sorry
For all the times you hurt
For the times I coward and shied away
And left your heart in the dirt

I failed to recognize the signs
I failed to recognize the facts
I failed to truly see you
So I am sorry for my acts

I loved the way you kissed me
It made me feel just right
And when our skin brushed, hand to hand
It made my chest feel tight

At first it was just sexual
No more than body without the mind
But after so much time with you
I see my love is of every kind

I always want to hear your story
I've always loved the way you speak
I want to help you solve your troubles
I want to help you when you feel weak

Oh, now I'm sounding cheesy
You have that effect on me for sure
You're making me feel dumb, babe
Cause, oh, wait! Geez, here comes more

You see, people speak of soul mates
Though I don't know if it's true
But I feel that if it's more than talk
My soul mate would be you

You're quirky, loud, and rowdy
You're immature and never mild
But, though I sometimes yell at you
You always make me smile

I've been jealous of your girlfriends
Yes, of every single one
Though I'd never admit it truly
The pain made me want to run

I love your silly poems
And your serious ones, as well
I sometimes wished they were for me
Though I would never tell

I'm always safe around you
That's the most perfect thing of all
And, of course, what makes me love you more
Is how you always answer when I call

It's stupid, I know, to say that
I've had feelings all this time
But all the times you gave your heart
I was too scared to truly give mine

I regret those times, I really do
I'll admit to my many mistakes
But even now to love you truly
I'm not sure I've got what it takes

I'm scared to say I love you
But I promise now I know
That you're worth all of the trouble
To let my feelings show

These silly words upon the page
I hope they make you see
You'll always have my heart, my friend
And with it, you'll always have me
