I really like you
You really like me
But what is supposed to happen next
Is not meant to be

We talked once before
You asked what we were
But I denied that we were anything more

I once believed that I could give my everything to one
I tried it before
But that guy made sure we were done once I wasn't physically enough

I know you are not like him
Nothing like him at all

But I am not the first to fall

She has known you longer
She remembers the conversations and friendship you've fostered

She tells me "He's my exception."
And I respond by pushing her in your direction

How do I tell her?
That I look at you and know I'll be jealous of whoever you give your heart to?

We've been talking more
You've seen me cry which is not something I do in front of anyone that's for sure

But I'm afraid that you'll leave too
Once you find out how much I'd want to be with someone like you

I can't seem to contain myself
The more I reveal the more I want to hide
If it's too much
I don't want to imagine a life
without you
