Waiting To Reaveal My Love

I've waited very patiently for you to come to me
I've sat and comtemplated if this love is meant to be
You've asked me to love you and not tell anyone
So I've kept it hidden far from its place in the sun
Although my love for you is deep and wide as it can be
I've done what you've asked and kept it within me
Am I being foolish to believe your heart is true
So are you playing games, can I really trust you?

My heart beats a little faster whenever you are near
I can't just shut my eyes and make my love disappear
My world is upside down everything is so mixed
I can't quite understand why on you my heart is fixed
You don't treat me as you promised that you would
And I would break free of this and from you if I could
I don't want to be left in the corner waiting my turn
If you don't want my heart then new lessons it'll learn

I can't just lock my heart away to stop this awful pain
And if you call I'll answer, my heart knows your name
I'm unable to stay far away I need to be close to you
My eyes seek you out and my heart stays eternally true
How I wish I could flirt and giggle, I'd keep it so light
Wouldn't it be fun to face the day with loves delight
But I have to keep this hidden, hide my love away
Don't let out this secret because of what gossips will say

I wish you could laugh and joke, have fun with me
Flirt and banter, let our love out, let them all see
I feel as if our union was some rather mucky joke
Can't I stand and declare to all that you're my bloke
I feel so uncertain of whether this show is going on
I just know that for some sign, any sign how I long
You've not written to me I've had no post from you
No phone calls, no sweet talk and no billet doux

So tell me my love is there any future for us, for me
I'm asking because with love blinding me, I can't see
I need to know where and in which direction to go
Because if there's no forward I must tell my heart no
My love is wide as the ocean and as bright as the stars
Release me from gossips prison, free me of silence bars
Love is pure but keeping it hidden makes it feel wrong
I want to shout out my heart and how for you I long

This tender cry...leaves all to sigh...just to learn...if he's the guy...that holds the key...to the Majestic, never mushy Marsha...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Marsha* Your heart is etched beautifully and
painfully in each line of this...Any love
worth having and worth fighting for is
worthy of being shouted from the roof
tops...if it's a love that must be hidden
from the world...then is it really
meant to be...merely thinking while reading
Marsha..I think that this beautifully
written poem from your heart says it all and
cries out to be heard.  May the love that
you feel be allowed to grow in the sunshine
rather than hidden in the shadows~

You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~

I enjoy thinking about the desires and complexities of Love...Many times I have backed off of a relationship due to uncertain thoughts...why won't she kiss me the way I like...why won't she give me more of her time...does she think of me as much as I think of her...
usually either they are not ready to committ or their feelings are not as intense as mine...I am trying to learn to give only as much as they desire...to give more is setting one's self up for pain, disappointments and rejection...James

Kari, he does love, he does.
Thank you love  
                
BDC, Mmmm love is worth anything, as the song says no river to wide, no mountain to high. Thank you for your reply. Since I'm a believer strongly in fate, I say things that what will be, what they will be.
And I wait, I don't know how much longer but I will wait. Until I won't wait.
                  

James, thank you, it's one of those puzzles I think, and I know I'll never understand the complexities.

Take care
                Marsha

I guess I inderstand the need to NOT let the world know of your love...but how long will you wait? How long is long enough? I want everyone to know

Paula, I am like you, I'd like to declare it loud and true. But it's not up to me, is it. So I wait, until it time not to wait any longer. Now if only life were a story, we could edit out all the bad bits and only leave in the good bits.
Take care
