The Difficulties of Holding Back

I am not sure if this is a song or a poem, but either way it is something...

The Difficulties of Holding Back

I want to throw my arms around you.
To hold you.
Hold you when you’re happy.
Hold you when you cry.
Hold you just to hold you.

But I don’t
Because you are not ready.

I wanted you to know
That I am here for you
Whether you want to be here with me or not.
I wanted you to know
That when you hurt, I hurt
And when you have joy,
I share it with you.

I am the piece of your life
That you don’t know you are missing.
I am the thought you should have

But you don’t
Because you are not ready.

I want to put my lips to yours.
To kiss you.
Kiss you when you are happy.
Kiss you when you cry.
Kiss you just to kiss you.

But I don’t
Because you are not ready.

How long do I wait?
How long can I wait?
You know we are right
But you hide that piece of you from me.
That potential love that is there;
The encompassing passion that I can give.

But I don’t
Because you are not ready.

And if the day were to come
When you and I are we.
I will hug you just to hug you.
I will kiss you just to kiss you.
And I will be with you
And you will be with me, here.

But it won’t
Because you are not ready.
