i could never muster
the courage of watching you breathe,
for every gasp or every sigh
will make my heart skip a beat

i could never confide
the real feelings i bury inside to you,
for every word that would leave my mouth
will make me want to hear your words too

i could never close my eyes
and see your silhouette behind my eyelids,
for every time i take in your shape
will wake up a part of my brain that i forbid

i could never tell you
how much you mean to me,
because im scared to face reality
and admit to my heart that i'm falling
