I Love You

By RayneWolf

The moon shines

in the night.

and the lake reflects

the stars.

Here we are,

standing side by side.

And you still can't say

you love me?

Why?

You caress my cheek,

and then our lips meet.

I love you,

I say it everyday.

But you never say

it back.

Do you not love me?

Or are you afraid?

"Of what?"  I ask

as you stare into my

misty blue eyes.

"I'm afraid that if I say,

'I love you,'" you reply,

wiping away a strand of hair

from my pleading face.

"That I will lose you

and the pain will be

unbearable."

"You'll never lose me,

my love." I whisper in your ear.

You smile suddenly

and the sun seems to be

released from the nights clutches.

"Then I am not afraid to say,

'I love you.'"
