Wreck

It's strange
I love you because we're so similar
Yet I don't love myself
You're a reflection of myself that I actually like
Besides the one I see in mirrors
My eyes and smile grow when you step nearer
But then I push you away
Because I'm afraid of wrecking your perfection
I'm a wreck,
Filled with doubts about whether I deserve it
Deserve you
If you're perfect to me,
Am I perfect to you?
My answer would obviously be no,
But the problem is I don't know yours
And I don't wanna ask because I'm afraid of wrecking our friendship
So I trudge along,
A trudge that feels like flying cause I'm with you
But in reality flying brought down by the weight that is myself
If it weren't for you I'd be sinking in the ground
And I so desperately want to make flying permanent
But I don't
Because I don't want to sink you too
Because I'm afraid of wrecking you
