If He Would Say It First

Wishing he would tell you how he feels.

I wish that he would say the words,
Then it wouldn't be so hard.
To hear him say I am yours'
Then my heart wouldn't be in shards.

Do I tell him first?
I don't think I can.
Even though it hurts,
I don't think he'll understand.

I think I will stay silent,
For as long as I can manage.
Lock it up inside and hide it.
I hope there's not much damage.
