Feeling Emotions

I cannot describe the feelings you make me feel

Who knew I had layers like an onion you can peal

Walking around with emotions all locked away

I always thought that is where they should stay

No one needed to know that I was not feeling anything

Evidently not even when I gave her the ring

I should be sad and probably feel ashamed

I am not perfect, it is something I have never claimed

I have always put everyone else first and foremost

I have been really good at this, not to boast

I have hurt myself, though I really didn't understand

That was just not something that I had planned

Now that my eyes are open up wide

My emotions I can no longer hide

You have helped me see I am important too

Which is a big reason I love you

I know we can never hope to become one

But I promise you we would have the "mostest" fun

I will chase you as long as you let me do so

If you get tired of it all you have to do is say no

I hope that I am eroding your reluctance to us

I know at the beginning everyone will make a big fuss

Over time, together we will mend any broken fences

I want to break through you defenses

I want to keep hope alive

Because right now you are making me thrive

I feel life is still full of possibilities

So I will keep looking for opportunities

To melt you heart with words of love and what could be

Waiting for the day that you will choose me
