I know that I am a man
That does not freely express his feelings,
And often the words you desire to hear go unsaid,
But deep in my heart my love for you burns
And buried there is every unspoken word.
If you could read my thoughts you would see
That this man is in love with you,
With all that I am or could ever be
And with every beat of my heart-
Flows every unspoken word.
Let me hold you in my arms
And lay your head on my chest,
In the silence listen closely
And you will hear in every heartbeat-
Every unspoken word.
When you learn to listen to the heart
You will hear the language of love
That goes far beyond a mere mortal’s words,
And when you hear what cannot be said-
You will understand the beauty of the unspoken words.
Yes, in reality, there are a lot of guys like the one you are describing in your poem.

This man has difficulty expressing love to the ones you love him most and not so much for those who have rejected him for declaring his love to them, making him fearful of doing it again.
