How do you tell someone those words for the first time?

Hearts racing

sweat's building

can hardely breath

how can you set the mood to say that shit?

what if it just won't come out?

now what?

awkward ass silence, just starring at each other

well maybe just them starring at you

you're looking everywhere but in their eyes

needing a drink of water

damn

even a swallow of spit

mouth is dry as hell

sweat beads about to drip in your eye

dripping off your chin

you keep wiping

heart keeps beating

you can't lock eyes

damn

is it really this hard

take a hurting ass swallow, wondering if they heard it

can they hear your heart?

shit

look at the time

you see their mouth is moving

what are they saying?

fuck it

close your eyes

relax an more important

BREATH

take a deep breath

have  seat

grab their hand and just do it

they ask you

"Baby, you said  you had to tell me something, right?"

you answer, "Yes....um...I know how you feel bout it, but I'm not gonna be able to go to the concert with you"

"oh, that's it? It's cool, we can chill here."
