My love is elusive for I have never held you,
So what can I say?
If I told you tomorrow that I loved you, what would you say?
Would you stutter and run away,
Or would you be stunned
And have nothing to say.
If you told me you loved me,
I do not know what I would say,
For my heart would be full of flutter and dismay,
For I love you more than I can say.
Do not take my silence as lack thereof,
But know you carry a special place in my heart That is there to stay.
