Afraid To Care

I see a girl and I ask myself,
	Isn’t she a beauty?
But I’m reminded of a scare.

I see that girl and I wish to myself,
	What a picture we’d be.
But I just don’t dare.

I see that girl and I tell myself
	To try and see,
But I’m afraid I’ll care.

I see the girl and berate myself,
	Tell her of me.
But I’m afraid to bare.

I see that girl and I ask myself,
	What does she see?
And I wish I could share …
