You
I know you may not know it,
And I know I rarely show it,
But I adore you.
Yes. You.
There are no comparisons
To the deep, intense feelings
I have hidden inside for you.
I may talk about other guys,
But you are always the one on my mind.
There is no competition.
It is extremely difficult for me to let you in,
To my soul, to my core.
Because you see,
Vulnerability has never come naturally to me
Especially when it comes to you.
You know how they say
“Honesty is the best policy.”
I’m terrified that my honesty will honestly scare you away.
So I express nothing because I truly want you to stay.
The truth is,
I want to be close to you.
I want to get to know the inner you.
And last but not least,
I want you to want me too.
