Saying I Love You
by
Laura Beth Leither
I can't believe what's happening here
My heart's beating so fast, the feelings' sincere
Everyone thinks love moves slow
But they are wrong as we both know
Hardly even friends for a month or two
The lovers before we know what else to do
To show this type of feeling wasn't hard
But to say it outloud was a more difficult turn
We struggled together, trying not to mess up
We knew we both felt it, but just couldn't fess up
We wanted it to be easy and special too
I just kept stopping myself before it slipped through
But you let down your guard and out it came
You said, 'I love you,' and I did the same
Finally admitting what our hearts' have said all along
Feelings like this just can't be wrong
