Glutton for Love

Yesterday, today, the same I’m too cowardly to speak your name I’ve never feared rejection like this I’ve never been afraid to shoot and miss Maybe… with you, there is too much at stake- But hiding these feelings makes me fake Maybe you are thinking like me… But we are too self-involved to see- This is mutual But I am just grabbing at air No one will ever like me, I have no flair So, I tell myself it’s nothing This kindness is your gift to any friend I cannot allow myself to exaggerate and say it’s something More More I want more! Is it greedy to desire such pure bliss as this? I should back down- But I can’t help but to assert, advance I will proclaim my feelings to you- give them a chance! Whether you accept or not, I will be gifted Because the worrisome burden will be lifted
