Whenever

Whenever I am close to you I can never say the words I want to I just smile like I always do Whenever I am close to you Why can't I speak what my heart seeks Why can't I say why am I afraid If I could just hold your hand Maybe you would finally understand The way I feel the way I am.... If I could just hold your hand Why is my heart so shy Why can't I even try Why why oh why Can't I say I love you Whenever I am close to you I can never say the words I want to I just smile like I always do Whenever I am close to you...

Saw this on the home page. I always found it hard to risk rejection. Some people are kind and some not when a rejection happens. The kind rejector told me the chemistry just wasn’t there. The mean one said ewwww! Either way, we occasionally might not be rejected. But we have to risk it. It’s not easy for we who are shy or have a fragile ego. Good luck,sir!!!
