Love Restrained No More

Have you ever loved someone,
But you just could not tell them?
For I speak not of lust or want,
These things I do condemn,
But that of which I do speak,
It has not but a name,
It is the essence of the soul,
The picture to my frame.

Have you ever held back thoughts,
Because who they contained?
Love is still love, without reply,
But simply love in vain,
To wonder what you could have had,
Like rocks within a quarry,
Regrets I can no longer keep,
And for this I am sorry.

But if you've ever felt this way,
You'll surely understand,
If I proclaim my love to you,
And take you by your hand,
And if my God does smile on me,
You'll smile with a yes,
But if that shouldn't be the case,
I couldn't blame you, Jess...
