Not Afraid

5

I'm not afraid of the dark,
But I'm afraid of you,
I'm afraid of what you'll think, 
Of everything I do.

I'm not afriad of fire,
I'll play with any flame,
I'm terrified of you,
Afraid to play your game.

I'm not afraid of clowns,
I'll put up with any joke,
But when you say you don't love me,
I feel I start to choke.

I'm not afraid of spiders,
I'll destroy any web,
But when you call me best friend,
Oh it crushes my head.

I'm not afraid of dying,
It comes to everyone someday,
But if I die without kissing you,
I'll be leaving the wrong way.

I'm not afraid of much,
I'm not afraid every day,
But there one thing I'm scared to do,
And it's to look you in the eye and say:

I love you. 
Your the only one.
Your everything I could dream of.
Your the only one for me.
Your the only one who makes me smile,
The only one whe makes me say,
Right here's where I wanna stay,
Your the only one to take my breath,
The only one to tie my tongue,
The only one who makes me scared,
The only one who makes me weak.

If I could muster up the confidence,
I could maybe make you mine,
But as long as I can admire your beauty,
I think that I'll be fine.
