Loving In Silence

At times, I’d like to utter “I Love You” to you

But I know they’re the three most important words that’s hardest to say when it’s true,

Words become empty, senseless, emotionless

When you gather the courage to speak them up,

But you can’t prove it otherwise.

I chose to love you in silence

For I know in doing this, I will feel no pain,

It’s only me who knows the raging feelings I kept inside

There’s no rejection loving you from afar

You’ll never understand that when our eyes meet, it’s already heaven for me.

“I Love You”

People tend to overuse these precious words time and again

But as years pass by, is the love still the same?

Will saying these repeatedly bring back memories,

When love was new and hearts can’t bid adieu?

Loving you in silence

Is my way of holding back the love I can give when I am made whole again,

When the scars have all been healed and have broken free from the chains

If you are the Right One for me then destiny would open its doors

And when that perfect moment comes, we would both say “I have loved you for the longest time”.
