With the paper before me and the pen in my hand, I’m reminded of the day I wished that would’ve stood still.

And knowing what I know now, I would’ve stopped time to give me more time to be in your eyes to kiss you longer and tell you all I feel.

I would’ve made you laugh more just to see you smile longer. Hugged you longer so you would feel safer longer.

Would’ve held your hand longer just so you would feel my heartbeat a little longer.

When I thought I was telling you how I truly felt, I thought I was screaming from the top of my lungs. But in actuality, my mouth was frozen with nervousness. 

Now, I’m left with my feelings trapped inside that can’t ever be expressed no matter how loud I scream. 

So, now I start the process of loving you from afar and being you forever cheerleader.
