It Isn't Easy To Say

I don't why, it gets me disconcerted, words stick inside my throat
I'm shy and sheepish, frankly introverted
pouting words of love will make me squirm and rock my boat

I'm all averse and squeamishly retiring, that's just the way I tend
maybe the blame's with my internal wiring
but the very thought of uttering sweet words of love
makes my hair stand up on end

it isn't easy to say this simple line
but each and every day I'm glad you're mine

I'd rather settle safe inside my castle, tucked up inside my shell
well hidden from embarrassment and hassle, patently avoiding uttering endearments
is something at which I excel

it isn't easy to say this simple line
but each and every day I'm glad you're mine

I go red-faced and discombobulated, akin to deep distress
I get abashed and all intimidated
mousily reluctant, specially when I know there are
soft sweet nothings to express

it isn't easy to say this simple line
but each and every day I'm glad you're mine
