If My Heart Could Speak

If My Heart Could Speak

I see you standing there,

pretending you don’t feel the pull.

You smile like nothing’s heavy

but your eyes give it away in full.

We’re dancing on the edges

of a truth that we both know—

a love trapped in the silence

that neither one of us lets show.

⸻

And I swear if I could let it slip,

just one breath of what I feel…

you’d hear a thousand little things

I’ve kept quiet just to heal.

⸻

If my heart could speak,

it would say your name so soft

the whole world would fade to nothing

until only we were caught.

It would tell you how I miss you

even when you’re standing close—

if my heart could speak its truth,

you’d be the one it loves the most.

⸻

I touch you for a second,

and my soul forgets to hide.

There’s a warmth inside your presence

that my fear can’t override.

I wonder if you ever hear

the things I say without a sound—

like the way I breathe your energy

whenever you come around.

⸻

Maybe love is louder

in the quiet of the room.

Maybe everything we’re scared to say

is just waiting to bloom.

And maybe we’re both guilty

of hiding what we crave…

two hearts speaking in silence,

hoping one day we’ll be brave.

⸻

If my heart could speak,

it would pour itself to you—

every beat, every tremble,

every wish you never knew.

You’d hear how much I feel it,

how long I’ve held this truth…

if my heart could ever speak,

it would whisper: I love you.
