The Missing Words

I've known you for over a year, not days...
my feelings never became love, but 
remained platonic needing courage to whisper
them when the tender look in those happy eyes
wanted to hear them and not wait.

The missing words can make you wonder,
no doubt my sincerity sounds very deep
and your anxiety might explode like thunder
and make me say them when in doubt...
is there another easy way to surrender?
Will I defy the silence and be smart?

The missing words can make you wonder,
even though the spark is ready to ignite
and consume us with the passion we've been feeling;
the missing words can make you wonder
until I decide to take them out of the hiding
and say them loud with more joy to excite
me whenever my ego rises to hold you and satisfy
the hunger that I felt with an enormous intensity.

The missings words can make you wonder at times...
if I have fallen in love or been broken into pieces.
