Unknown

Fear of crossing lines, so the boundaries are stretched to capacity. Staying in place is safe and full of smiles. Across that line is the unknown. There's no going back once that line is breached. Maybe you could lose everything or maybe you could get everything you've ever wanted or needed...

But it's not your choice to make. So, you'll just stay safe and smile.

Fear

Fear of losing those smiles, those moments I can cause a blush

Fear of my lack of self control

Fear of saying the wrong thing

Fear I'll never be able to say everything I long to say

Fear that this hope inside me will crush me one day. 

But none of these fears are as great as the fear of losing this feeling...and the dream. 

Losing that would be a tragedy.

You Can't

Look in my eyes and say that you don't want to be my friend.
Hold my hand and tell me you don't miss me.
Wrap your arms around me and tell me you're not aching.
Kiss my lips and tell me you don't see me that way.

But you won't,
Because you can't...

Just keep your eyes averted and your back turned, so you don't slip and repeat past mistakes.
And leave me here freezing, until you need my support, because you know I'll be here, always waiting...with open arms and a yearning heart.
