I don’t know why I couldn’t say it
But neither could you.
Spent so long just
waiting.
For what?
For a sign or a promise that we were going to last
Something to force us to take a chance.

Waited so long
When I knew it one month in
Pressed against you on the dancefloor
Forgetting where we were
Your fingers in my hair, my head on your chest
‘so I tell you baby this could be love'
and I thought yeah it could.

I gave you my smiles,
gave you private jokes
gave you the first look, the first touch.
But not those words.
Running scared,
Holding back,
Not wanting to be the first.
Till one day
One nothing particularly special day,
You said it
And I said it back.

And it was nice to hear it
but nothing changed.
Because for months you’d played with my fingers as you held my hand
Made me laugh
Watched me cry
Stroked my hair, kissed my shoulder
Kissed me slow. Kissed me long-
hard

Really looked at me,  
and held me as we danced.
So I’d always known it
and I guess so had you

And now its out there 
All that has changed is
Our mouths have shared what our hearts always knew.
