She Doesn't Know

A Poem by Jerisson

My flaws have always gotten the better of me, even back then.

I see her face wherever I go,
But she doesn't know I love her so.
I hear her voice in my head.
I want to have the memory of when she said,
"I Love You"
But I'm too stubborn, too shy.
I can't even look at her eye-to-eye.
And all because I know you
And I'm afraid to see
The fact that you may not love me.
