Why?

Why am I scared?
To just tell you that I love you
I am trapped in the middle of words
Unable to express this feeling

Why am I scared?
To show you that I love you
Caught up in my expressions
Not knowing if you will care

Why am I scared?
To let you feel that I love you
I gently touch your hand
But immediately pull away

Why am I scared?
To express how I love you
I gently touch my lips to yours
But I am afraid of what happens next

Why am I scared?
To show you why I love you
I really want you to know
But I�m afraid you won�t accept it

Why am I scared?
To let you see how I love you
I let myself be everything to you
But sometimes I don�t know if you notice

Why am I scared?
I�m hiding why I love you
Emotionally terrified
Of losing you to this

Why am I scared?
To tell you that I love you
I�m terrified of denial
And lost in my scarcities

Why am I scared?
I won�t tell you that I love you
I�m afraid you can�t handle it
I�m afraid I can�t either

Why am I scared?
To love you like I want to
I want to see your smiling face
But I don�t know how to express this

Why am I scared?
Of loving you
I want us to be more
But is it meant to be this way?

Why am I scared of you?
