Lies and Truth

I thought the last one was really the last. I don't even know if you'll ever see this, but I had to try.

I'm going to be cliche

I'm going to be cheesy

But it's the only way I'm going to get this to you

Because I'm afraid

I was the one who pulled back

I was the one who made the decision 

And here I am

Being the one still thinking about you

And sit here 

Telling you this through poetry

Because I'm afraid

There are too many things to tell you 

Too many excuses for what happened

But there is one you need to know 

It was because I was afraid 

I was afraid of the truth 

I was afraid of giving you that truth 

Because I didn't know how you would react

So I didn't tell you 

Instead I cut it all off

Because I was afraid

I'm still afraid

I'm still uncertain about everything 

But you

And I know it's too late

I know I can't fix everything

But at least now you know

I lied about why I said no

I lied to you

To myself 

Because I was afraid

This is beautiful - sad but beautiful

Im not so sure on the first two lines though- i don't think this writing is what cheesy is.
