To love and not to tell

a poem by Tej Prakash

Do you know what it feels like,
To love you and not to tell you?
Do you know what it feels like,
To know that I might lose you?

Do you not know what I feel?
You know me better than the world;
Do you know not what I mean?
It’s the one thing I can’t explain.

Do you know what it feels like,
To tell you everything,
But keep from you the one thing
That means the world to me.

Do you not know the feeling,
To touch and not to touch,
To feel and not to feel,
The love I hide away for you,
The love I hide away from you.
