I want to smile at you
To show you that I too am a joyous personBut every time I see you, I feel my body stiffen and unable to move.
I want to look at you in the eye
To show you who I really am
And to show you that I too can be braveBut every time I feel your gaze
I suddenly feel shy,
Feeling the beat of my heart pound against my chest
Making me cower away from your sightI want to stand by your side
To show you that I'm willing to be with youBut every time I feel you near
I suddenly feel soft and weak
Unable to stand strong beside youI want to be someone who you can proudly call a friend
Someone that you can truly trust,
Someone who is worthy to be relied on.To be someone that can be with you no matter what
