How to tell???

a poem by Rob Salisbury

How do you tell when you like someone so much,
you cant get them out of your mind?
How do you tell someone how you feel
when your cleverly thought out plan disappears from your mind?
How do you tell someone that they are the sun
that wakes you in the morning and leads you through the day,
and the moon that guides you in the night
and guards you while you sleep?
How do you know when it’s the right time to think and not act?
How do you know when it’s the right time to act and not think?
How do you tell when friendship just won’t do?
How do you tell someone how much you feel for them
and not be able to tell them?
All these questions stream through my head,
and I don’t know the answer to any of them.
All I know is how much I want to be with her,
more than anyone else I’ve ever wanted to be with.
I don’t want to say love,
because I know that’s not true yet,
but it could be someday.
If only I could have the chance to tell her how I feel,
how I could never do her wrong,
or ever hurt her.
All I have to ask,
is HOW???
