Are you aware of what I most fear;
You know how much I want you near;
The precious words I long to hear;
Am I being too unclear?
Do I need to actually spell it out;
Opening my window and truly shout;
Letting all know what this is about;
Do you still have doubt?
Do you feel I am making any sense;
Am I overwhelming and too intense;
Or mysterious and full of suspence;
Do you think this is pretense?
Can you see I am totally confused;
Throughout my life I've been used;
My good intentions always misused;
Do you know my heart is bruised?
Deeply within myself I must be true;
My heart tells me to open up to you;
Do I take a chance and follow through;
Are you feeling like I do?
