171,146 words,26 letters, 5 vowels and I still cannot tell you how much I love and appreciate you. Anxiety holds my tongue as if it's a tamed horse. Not allowing me to say a few Compliments will sail your way When I learn to talk to you one day. For now I stay silent appreciating you from afar Ill say something one day when I gather all my might. Sleeping is a thing of the past for now you keep me up at night. This isn't a love poem I'm afraid to say. I am obsessed with you I mean no harm Just watching silently, no words to fray.

Words will hurt and burn my tongue Making my stomach unravel then undone The best friend I didn't know I'd have here Will leave me when love is no longer there Why must you stay and hurt me so The longer you stay the longer my loves grow
