I Don't Know Me Either.

I'm getting this nagging feeling.

I don't know whether it's because in the pit of my stomach, I know you don't approve.

Or if it's the fact that you're not responding, and I'm worrying my fears will be confirmed if I call you.

Or if it's this niggling little thought that wormed its way into my brain, the same one I desperately hate.

 

You would think I'd learned that this time of year, when I (possibly) gain someone/happiness,

I'm destined (doomed) to lose someone/happiness.

It's happened a little late this year,

Or maybe it just happened a little early last year.

I just want you to talk to me.

I just want to know you're okay.

Normally when you're not, you tell me.

But once again, something's changing, and I can't help but feel happy despite my growing shame.
