Fearing The Love I've Always Wanted

Oh God, I can't help it, can I?
I'm losing my mind.
I lost myself in you,
you gave me new reasons to giggle.

So pathetic I am,
laughing and rolling around in bed like a 5-year-old baby girl with her new doll she gets.

It's crazy what you do to me, and you don't even know —
it's a secret I hold onto tight,
’cause deep in my heart it matters so much it makes me cry.

I don't understand where this began.
Maybe somewhere between your smile and a conversation we had.
I have never felt this much of everything I know.
The happiest cries I don't show.

Your deep brown eyes I don't look into because of fear,
fear of getting lost in you.
And to get lost in you isn't the fear itself.
It's that maybe your brown eyes look into mine and can't rest.

I can't even think about you losing yourself like me,
all because of these feelings I get,
lost hope I seek.
