I have a silent wish
That no one knows
And the more I think about it
The more it seems to grow
My silent wish includes
A love I had so long ago
Not the one everyone might think of
Who undoubtedly told me no.
This love has been alive in me
For at least 5 years or more
But I have not found the courage to ask
If he wants to see what’s in store
Maybe this silent wish is wrong
Maybe I shouldn’t tell him I care
Having a broken heart more than once
Is more than this heart can bear.
Should I tell him this silent wish?
Should I say I love him so?
Should I say I want him to fix my broken heart?
Should I tell him so he’ll know?
I’m hanging by a moment
Caught in the mist of time.
Wanting, waiting
Wondering if God’s giving me a sign
Is it time to tell?
Is this the moment he’s given me?
Is he the one God sent,
To open my eyes and let me see?
I am too hesitant to ask
Too afraid to speak what I feel inside
But I also know it is extremely foolish
To keep love locked up to protect your pride.
To risk friendship and vigor…
Is this the chance I’m willing to take?
To tell you I have loved you forever
And together create a love only Heaven could make.
I want to speak
I want to say
I will tell you I love you
The next time you look my way…
