How do I tell you I love you?
Ti amo, te amo, ai shiteru, je t\'aime, I love you?
Shall I say it in sign or another language?
Are you ready to hear it from me?
I understand that the phrase scares us both.
However, I\'m not so sure I can hold it in longer.
There have been confessions of liking, none of love
Will you accept how I\'m feeling or deny me?
How do I tell you I love you?
Through my care taking, worry, and compassion?
What about through late nights?
Or maybe it\'ll be breakfast in the morning
One of these days I\'ll show it through actions
The likes of which you have not yet seen
It\'ll be \"See you after work\"s and \"Have fun today\"s
The trust we\'ll share to go out alone with friends
How do I tell you I love you?
Is it through writing you poems?
Or perhaps you\'d prefer I sing you a song?
Maybe it\'s even just me acting like myself
The way I\'ll smile like I\'ve never been hurt
Or when you\'ll catch me dancing around the room
How I\'ll sleep because I feel safe enough to do so
Or maybe it\'s me joking about the way you sleep
How do I tell you I love you?
Should I just confess like a girl in an anime?
Doesn\'t that sound just a bit cliche?
Maybe I should write you a letter, it\'s so personal
It would be full of doodles and hearts
But every last word would be meaningful
I\'d tell you everything that I feel for you
Then hand it to you in a small, pink, envelope
How do I tell you I love you?
Is it through subtle hints?
What about our normal flirting?
Maybe it\'s just through our calls
How you let me fall in and out of sleep
The way I watch you live your life
Seeing the way you get more comfortable
Some day soon I\'ll see how we act together
How do I tell you I love you?
Do I even say it at all?
Or should I just leave things the way they are?
I want so badly to tell you how I\'m feeling
However, maybe it\'s for the best we\'re this way
The words might scare one of us away
I don\'t want to lose you when you mean so much
At some point I would like to hear you say it
How do I tell you I love you?
Maybe through questions and answers?
Picking you up things here and there?
Or is it through getting to know you so well
And how you\'ll imagine me as a caretaker
The way you let me help plan events and parties
Wishing I was there to be with you
How I want to be shown off as arm candy
How do I tell you I love you?
Is it through my attention to detail?
The way I notice all the little things?
Maybe it\'s through my memories of us
Fearful eyes looking at me when your dad called
The way your whole body relaxes when you smile
How you took pictures just for me
The way we\'ve made plans for future events
How do I tell you I love you?
Should I just say it to you \"on accident\"?
Or do I take it a safer way and say we need to talk?
I\'ll figure out a way one of these days
And maybe I already have found my way
By telling you I love your slant rhymes
Or even by the way I stare longingly at you
It could even just be the way everyone else says I do
How do I tell you I love you?
Should I show you this poem?
Or shall I hide it all away?
I\'ll tell you one of these days
I\'m being told by others that I love you so
Yet I try and try to hide these feelings from you
There really is no point in doing so
People can tell that you care the same for me
