Love?

Why does it trouble me so
To speak these words of love to you
I want to scream it, to let you know
Of all the things that we could do

As a pair, alone, just the two of us
To do what we want and what we need
Without anyone else making a fuss
And saying that we’re doing an evil deed

Why can’t I just scream it to the world
Or whisper it quietly in your ear
Why can’t I hold that wand that you once twirled
And make you want to call me dear

Will I be too scared to make you aware
Or let you know and answer the dare
