Do I dare?

Do I dare hold you so close to my heart?
Do I dare hide these emotions until we part?
Do I dare reach to touch you and watch you pull away?
Do I choke on my feelings as I turn and walk away?

How can I show you my feelings are true?

You're here in spirit... your heart is gone
And now my soul feels so alone
The person you once were seemed to go away,
I do in my heart hope she returns someday.

The tears that run down my cheek
So sweet, so shy, so meek
So, Kerri, if you hear my cry just know
With your heart my soul will go.
