How Can I Tell ?

How can I tell you "I want you" When I'm scared? How can I prove to you that I do?          
How can I not say those simple words above?       When each and every one of them are true!            
            
How can I stand by and let you slip away            
Because inside I'm terrified to speak out            
It's my own fault, there's no one to blame            
If in my future I must go without.            
             
How can I tell you your the most beautiful thing   The most beautiful thing my eyes have seen?  
Of course I know you've heard it all before            
But your my Princess, in fact your my Queen.            
             
I don't want to convince you I'm a good man
I instinctively want you to know            
Trust me, you are the bright light in me            
And I want you to watch my light grow.            
             
Nothing prepared me for your smile            
Lighting the darkness of my Soul            
I want to feel the warmth of your love            
To have you in my arms to console.            
             
But I will never push you to love me              
Nor will I put you under any pressure            
If we're not to be then I'll understand            
But you'll always be my undying treasure.            
             
I'm scared to lose you and I'm scared to love you What if you hurt my heart badly?            
I know that I want you, I thought it through clearly
I want you my darling, Madly!            
             
How do I make you put your trust in me?            
I know your past and understand your fears         T'was me who was there to comfort you            
T'was me who helped wipe away your tears.            
             
Inside, my heart and soul needed cradled            
Because I always had a crush on you            
But me? Well wasn't it me who was labelled?         Your the only one who noticed me, that's true!            
             
So now I'm here in this quandary,              
cos I want you and I know that I do            
This wasn't supposed to happen to me,              
no plan, no motive, no clue            
             
All I know now is that I want you,              
I need you more than I ever knew            
But how do I tell you I've got feelings for you         When im terrified to say it?  But it's true...
