Earthquake

It's not easy to say all the words in your mind.

~Take the leap.~ 

I can feel it, like an earthquake. 

It's so unpredictable and new. 

But I'm afraid I'll break,

If you know I feel it too. 

I can hear it like thunder in my mind. 

It's so pronounced and loud. 

But it's so hard to find

Just when to open my mouth. 

I've been holding back my tongue. 

I think it's time to tell. 

But then I grow numb.

Do you still feel it as well?

I've been so close to spilling,

Like a broken bottle to the floor. 

Every time I think I'm willing,

I bite my tongue some more. 

Is there a subtle way

To divulge my proclamation?

What would you say?

I think it'd help the conversation. 

But don't I already know? 

I've seen it between the lines. 

And I think you already know. 

All that's left is to speak my mind. 

I can feel it like pouring rain,

Washing all my troubles clean. 

But I am still afraid

For after I decide to take the leap. 

I can feel it like an earthquake.

It's so beautiful and new. 

You've had a long wait. 

Now, you need to hear it too.
