The Truth

You don't have to say it too.
It's just the way I feel for you.
I just had to let you know.
If I didn't I'd feel the blow.

Of never having told you so.
When around you I let it show.
I just have to let you know.
My love for you is immense and bold.

If the bell for me does not toll.
Then do not say it.
I do not want a fib filled load.
I only want that which is true.
It's how highly I think of you.

To send a message of false giftage.
Would back us into distrust and hatred.
So if you feel the way I do.
Tell me now, and we'll be proud.

If you don't just smile and nod.
At least I will have known I tried.
I have not lied, nor should you.
So tell me now what do we do?
