My love for him

Bold I was as I walked to his side
I swore I would not cripple this time
I would not cave, I would not give in
I would declare my love to him
But as I neared I felt emerge
A feeling within my soul did surge
He turned and when our eyes did meet
I swallowed hard to taste defeat
I lost all words as he stood and gazed
I backed up, turned and walked away
I heard him call but I could not stop
I felt a pain in me as my heart did drop
Torn and yet desire was strong
Between the right and what I knew was wrong
He holds a part of me, I fear to say
It tears me up to walk away
Bold I will be as I leave his side
It is not fear that drives me away this time
I will not cave, I will not give in
And so because of my love for him
