Unspoken feelings

In my heart, there's a secret place
Where my feelings hide away.
They are waiting for the right time
To come out and let me say:
 
I care about you more than words can say
And I hope you'll understand.
You are my light in the darkest night
And my strength when I feel weak.
 
But I'm afraid to say it out loud
For fear of scaring you away.
I'm just a simple soul
Who needs your love to stay.
 
So I'll keep my feelings hidden
Till the time is right to say.
But know that in my heart
I love her more than yesterday.
