Tell you

I wish I could tell you I love you,
Hold you, tell you "you're mine"
I wish I could whisper to you softly
That you are the man of my dreams...
I wish I could tell you, my lover,
That I will make all of your dreams come true ...
I wish I could hold you forever
But you are not ready for truth.
You don't want to hear promises,
Or soft whispered words in the night...
You're still afraid of your shadow...
And I cannot yet ease that fright.
