Ricki,

Never feel shy about offering up suggestions--we never get better without them! It's interesting that you called out those two lines--they were the last two I wrote on this one. It's intended to say: If she continues to wait so long to tell him how she feels ("hide too long in the dark"), then she's telling him she doesn't love him by not telling him she does, no matter what else she may say or do ("your true colors will show"). Maybe it doesn't work as intended. I'll give that and your suggestion on the bridge some thought. Thanks so much!!!

Regards,

Deej
