I Love You Too Poem by Selina Gurgacz

Why, oh why. Oh why, oh why,
Does it have to be this way.
We were the best of friends,
We could trust each other.
But I don’t understand,
Why you’re telling me this,
Telling me these things.
I never realised,
That deep down inside,
That you felt that way,
Because of what happened before.
I never would have guessed,
That you would have professed,
What you are right now.
And that you would have said,
Those three words I’d longed to hear.
‘I love you.’

I always had feelings for you,
But brushed them aside,
For I thought it would ruin what we had.
I never owned up to my feelings,
That when I felt empty,
You made me whole again.
I could never tell you these things,
For fear of rejection,
For fear of you saying,
‘I still don’t want anyone, I still love her.’
But now I can,
Now I can say,
What I’ve always wanted to say.
‘I love you too.’
