Just say it

I didn't want to say it.
I didn't want to be the first one to say it.
I was scared... I was just scared.
I held on to it for so long.
I thought you could see it in my eyes and feel it in my lips and hear it in my voice with other words.

Maybe you did and you were scared too?
Scared of your own feelings or maybe my response?

I didn't say it because I knew you wouldn't say it back.
I didn't say it because I was scared I'd feel empty afterwards.

I loved you and more than just as a friend.
