You and I
I've tried avoiding it for so long,
the force pulling me to you.
Every day, I take just a glance at you,
and all my feelings are renewed.
It makes my heart leap and stammer,
to see someone so covered in glamour.
Someone so kind, so beautiful, so funny,
how could I not?
Yet, I'm scared.
I want to give love another chance
and venture, see where it takes me.
But if it takes my heart to be shattered
once again?
My heart is already halfway split.
I'm breaking my heart every day
when I try to hide the feelings
I have for you.
But honestly,
I don't have hope for you and I.
I've watched countless miserable,
saddening love stories,
what's the chance that ours is an outlier?
A part of me wants to try,
see where this takes you and I.
Maybe the distant dream I wished for
isn't so far after all?
