When I follow my heart, do I listen to my head?

I want to do the right thing and I want to be a good friend.
I want to see her smile, hear her laugh, make her happy, keep her company, comfort her, and promise her that she'll never be alone.
I want to share her joy, ease her pain, and warm her heart.
I want to lift her spirits, share her passions, and calm her fears, and wipe her tears.

and I want to listen to my head telling me that some things are best left unsaid.

I hinted (because hiding it was too much).
I tried to say it, but I got scared.

My head says "wait, the time isn't right".
My heart sees her unhappy and begs me to speak up.

When I open my mouth to speak, I look into her eyes and the words escape.
When I hold her, I'm screaming inside while my face simply smiles.
How do tell someone something you can't figure out how to say?

My head knows what not to say.
My heart is confused.

It happened to me in the past, and I remember how it felt while I had it.
But I remember how it felt when I lost it.
My head doesn't want to chance it.
My heart doesn't want to miss out on it.

My head says "she may not be ready to share those feelings."
My heart knows that.

My head knows that holding her close makes her feel safe and cared about.
My heart knows that holding her close makes me want to look into her eyes, let her know that although I tried to fight it: I started to fall in love. Then finally kiss her.

My head knows better.
My heart knows better too.
