I flash a grin
because that's what you do to me.
I'm scared
because of my many flaws
that you refuse to see.

I love you
because you make me feel wonderful.
Because at the end of our conversations,
my heart feels heavy and full.
But I hate you
because I am afraid of you.
Afraid of the love that I'm feeling,
afraid of disappointing you.

I was falling
but I fell into your arms.
Though your a million miles away,
I still feel safe from harm.
You're on my mind
every single day.
My daily life is affected
in every good way.

When I'm with you,
I try to be the person I want to be.
But you snatch away my mask,
exposing the natural, real me.
What shocks me, you see
is that you never run away.
Though I worry I'll scare you off,
you always manage to stay.

I never deserved you,
so why are you here?
As long as I live,
this will never be clear.
But for now, I'll relax.
All that matters is that you're here.
But in the back of my mind,
I'll hope that I'll never see
the future that I fear.

As if. :)
