How to hold someone special

He reaches for my hand
I hesitate
My breath stopping
I can not think straight


I take his hand
The pounding of my heart as I look into his eyes make me turn away
His eyes as if they see right through me
Catch me staring and hold my glance until at last
My face turned pink
Our hands start to touch


How do you feel?
I think as I try to say how I do
What do you see when you look at me?
I see so much when I look at you
What do I mean to you?


You hold my hand as we talk
Would you care about me still, if I told you how I feel?
What am I to you?
I feel as if I am nothing more than a friend to be lost at any moment in the crowd


I open my mouth
I'm ready to speak
I know what to say, I practiced for weeks
One look from your eyes and I lose all my words
My mind draws a black
I feel so absurd


I stand there staring with my mouth open wide
While you look straight back trying to understand what I'm trying to hide
Will I say it today or maybe tomorrow?
If I don't say it soon I may lose you
All I want to say is…
I love you
