Today, I woke up
And I knew,
It was the day,
When I would just tell you,
Without countless preparations,
Without word rehearsals,
Without diving into insanity,
Becoming a titan of a wreck.
I would tell you,
I love you,
I thought.
And I didn't pass by,
I stayed near you,
Where the fragrance of my addiction was found.
Close to you,
And finally,
I mustered up
All my sense,
All my nerves put off work,
Answering just as the humble audience,
Of my confession.
I told you,
That I love you
In words plain,
But emotions intense.
And well, what you did,
Was what made my day,
The best ever to stay.
You came closer,
Smiled on all my magnified being,
My heart crossing it's bounds,
Mind stayed overtiming .
And then you whispered in my ears,
"Oh! Thank god you do,
I thought, you will never say."
