How do I tell you ?

I’m always the brave one

I’m always so strong

Speaking my mind comes naturally and I have a feisty tongue.  

But now I’m not brave, now I’m not strong.

My tongue is numb and my mind can’t sort out thoughts and can’t find words to say.

How do I tell you about that one time I looked into your eyes? Was it just for a second, just one single moment, or longer ...?

How do I tell you that I want to look into them again? Look into them  a little bit longer and drown in those beautiful brown pools of wisdom?

But how do I tell you that … how do I tell you?
