His ... Smile

It's the way I look at him, the way he smiles back...
but I don't know how to feel, will I forever be confused about these chills? 
I look down and wonder... 
Who means the most, who's love means more?! 
It's the way that I look at him, it's the way he smiles back... 
Hmph... What does this really mean?! I know its not love, well is it? 
No. 

Standing at the door... Not desiring to walk through. 
Fear...?
No. 
I'm just very unsure. 
All I know is... that smile... 

It's the way he looks at me, the way he catches my eye. 
Sometimes I fight myself, 
Try and fix myself...
but now... I'm stuck. 
So, I go through the side door never look back at the front porch...
