If I could take away all your pain by holding you close to my heart and keeping you safe in my arms, I would. If I could block the pain and sadness from you life by showing you how much I care, I would.

I wish I could show you how much I care. I wish I could say how much I love you, but unfortunately I’m to shy. You will never know how I feel. I suppose I could give you this paper that I am now writing, but you are not around, and I’m not sure I would want you to know.

Yes I love you and maybe you love me, or will love me someday. But I also know that with love comes pain and with pain come tears. I can’t take any more pain, physically or emotionally and I know I can’t cry anymore. If I do I may never stop. That frightens me. I need to be in control of my emotions and you make that hard. I find my mind constantly fighting with my heart whenever you are around.

Today I promise myself to one day tell you how I feel. To tell you that I love you, even though you’ve hurt me countless times before. I still love you and always will.
