Supposed to Tell You?
How am I supposed to tell you?
That my knees go weak,
My face goes red,
As you walk into the room.
How am I supposed to tell you?
That my heart starts to pound,
My hands start to sweat,
As you glance toward me.
How am I supposed to let you know?
That the feelings I have for you are real?
How am I supposed to voice my opinions
about your deep coffee eyes,
and your smooth caramel skin.
How do I tell you?
To give me an answer,
It could be a note,
Or maybe a smile,
But, I need some response to help me now.
How am I not to die inside?
As you back away once you hear,
The truth of my desire,
The longing of my heart.
How am I supposed to tell you?
That you have broken my heart.
