We barely talk.
We just walk beside each other.
We're both so awkward and together we're even more so.
I feel like he's ashamed of me. Does he even like me?
Well, I mean, he's dating me so he must like me, right?

I don't show it on the outside. I don't show it because I don't want to scare you off by being too much.
Maybe I need to be more.

Because although I might not show it that much, on the inside I'm shouting:

"But I love you, I do,
To me you are the world,
I don't want to show it,
I'm scared of getting hurt,

I might not be much,
But know that I try,
And when I'm with you I feel
like I could reach the sky,

You give me all the butterflies,
With you I can't think straight,
But if we think together,
Maybe we'll finally go on a date,

I know that I'm too cowardly
To ever let it show,
But know that I love you,
And I'll never let you go."
