You Don'T Know Me

You don't know me But i love you Adolescent walls But i am ancient I love your smile The way your hair curls I love you get nervous in interviews Sometimes Am i in love with you I think i am But its the safest place to love to love from afar You won't hurt me You can't For we have never said a word Never had the chance You don't know me This by far Is the best romance

Wow Jo this is certainly a protective mechanism for someone afraid of being hurt. It is sad that humans can hurt the people they are suppose to love the most that care the most for them, so sad. Very heartfelt piece and I hope your doing well. God bless you...
