I Like You

If you read this, don't tell me you did. Just, you know, go with it. I was actually afraid to write this... I won't be surprised if I don't end up posting it!!!!

There is something I need to say,

but it's far from easy for me to say it.

I'm afraid you won't feel the same,

or that it won't come out right.

I am scared of being vulnerable again.

I think about this day and night.

I'm afraid of you.

of anyone who can control me this way.

I can't think straight.

It's SO hard to say!

I like you.

Make this easy for me.

Just turn and walk away.

At least I know I finally got the courage,

to say what I wanted to say.

I just want you to read my mind,

make this easy.

So I don't have do this myself.

It makes me feel queasy.

I can never think of anything to say.

There's got to be something else I can do.

There has to be another way.

Maybe I can write it down,

and you can "accidentally" find it taped to your door.

Yes, that is the coward solution I'm looking for.

Can't you just forget what I said about being brave?

I felt brave when I said it.

We both fear rejection, here we have a problem.

Who will take the closest step to the edge of the cliff?

I can't leave this alone.

I'll always wonder "What if?"

I like you.

I like you.

I like you.

I like you.

I can say it all I want when you're not around.

but that's not what matters.

I can't see making myself vulnerable again.

I'm sorry.

It's not that you're not worth me trying.

But I'm so fed up,

so fed up with heart induced crying.

I'm hoping you can understand.

Intrigue has got us this far.

but now emotion and hope for something new is driving me further.

I crave something new.

I crave what I've been missing for so long.

I've lost the ability to take risks.

I have lost the ability to stay strong.

Now it's the classic case scenario,

where only time will tell.

Whether everything will crash,

or whether things will go well.

I could go on about the things that I like and intrigue me all day.

But to sum it all up, I just have to say,

I like you.

Author's Note

I sense "forced rhyme" in there and it bothers me, but I like where it is. Otherwise, tell me what you think. :D
