To Shy To Say I Love You

I’m too shy to tell you that I love you  
  though I’ve loved you from the moment I saw you  
    your smile captivates me.  I can’t help it,  suddenly I’m out of control  
      I try not to think of you and then I see you  
        there I go again looking for my breath, all the air is gone  
           I’m so afraid.  If you touched me, I might burst into flames  
             in your arms I would dissolve  
               you have no idea what you do to me  
                 how can I tell you of my fantasies  
                   would you even care to know  
 
I’m too shy to tell you that I love you  
   such emptiness without the thought of you  
      I could live forever in the beauty of your smile  
         you stood next to me on the train.  I trembled uncontrollably  
            it was as if a garret choked the words still in my throat  
               the train moved sideways and you pressed against me  
                 my heart stopped, the doors opened, and you were gone  
 
Am I too shy to tell you that I love you  
   when next you’re near I will  
     to vaporize right in front of you I probably will  
        but I will have told you everything in those three words  
           my life, my world, the very essence of my being  
             would that be too small  
 
I was too shy to tell you that I love you  
    when next you stood by me on the train  
      the garret tight around my throat the air had gone again  
          your scent made me dizzy, I couldn’t get enough  
            I closed my eyes and tried to breathe again our bodies pressed  
              I felt a steady hand take mine so warm and sure and fine  
                you introduced yourself, I stood there numb, I think I said my name  
                   your card you gave a gift to me, you smiled and then you left  
                      I turned the card and held my breath  
                         I love you is what you penned.
