you're afraid
afraid of me
afraid of someone finally
finding out your secret
but would it be so bad
for someone else to know?
the person you tell
may be the one
who you come to love the most
you fear love
having never experienced it
but are you really blind?
can you really not see
the love I feel for you?
will what we could have
be over
before it ever begins?
I know you fear
what others may think
but do not
let someone's opinion of you
rule your own life
can you not see
in the way I look at you
or, more specifically,
the way I can't look at you?
I'm not one to know
a lot about love
but I think I'm in it
what I feel
how my heart feels like
the weight of the world is upon it
when I can't see you that day
I like what I'm feeling
and my love for you
will never grow silent
I made that mistake once
never again
