The thing I want to say

There has been something

Building in my throat

For the last few months.

Burning

Needing to say it,

I need to say it,

I can't go forever

Not saying it.

I don't know

What it is

Exactly.

How to say

That you are everything

Everything I love

Everything I could possibly want

Dream of

Wish for?

How to say

I love you

But meaning so much more than words could ever convey?

How to play you a song

That captures everything

You've done to me?

The thing I want to say

Is waiting,

Pressing against my lips.

How to say it?

One day

I just let it all out.

I feel free.

The thing I want to say

Is not one-sided.

The thing I want to say

I now can

Without feeling pressured to constantly

Knowing I would regret it if I didn't.

The thing I want to say,

I say everyday.
