Afraid

I can't seem to get this right,

though I try, and try, and try,

You deserve the very best.

Enchanting me with your smile,

I wish you would stay for a while,

we could talk all through the night.

Forget them, they don't understand,

how I wish to hold your hand,

if only you were not afraid.

Do you ever think of us?

I promise you, you have my trust,

this is blossoming into something magical.

Do you feel what I feel?

How I pray that this is real,

and not another crush.

If I could have just one kiss,

I think I'd realize what I'd miss,

if you ever walked away.

Tomorrow may bring the end,

but I'll never pretend,

that I never loved you.

Maybe one day you will see,

what you meant to me,

but until then I must say goodbye.

Our love will always reign,

I hope you never hear of my pain,

never forget me, my love.
