An Apology For Love


I'm sorry I couldn't reciprocate the love,
Sorry for holding back, for not saying how it feels.
Emotions hidden deep, afraid to surface,
Fearful of rejection, of hurtful reveals.


The heart beats strong, yet locked away,
Longing to express, but dare not say.
I feel, I care, yet silence prevails,
Lest vulnerable emotions set sail.


Inwardly, I compliment your radiant soul,
Beautiful and immaculate, making me whole.
But alas, I keep the thirst at bay,
Locking it out, choosing not to sway.


A guy's emotions, complex and blazing,
Yearning to grab, to devour, yet frozen in gaze.
The heart wounded, waiting for the right time,
When is the right time? Only love's rhyme.


My distance is your safety, I step away,
Understanding love's true meaning, won't hurry the day.
I feel, I love, I care, yet apologize,
For the unspoken words, the hidden sighs.
