Why am I so afraid of being vulnerable?
Of leaving my heart to bare
Because of the pain I may endure?
The love I may not get?
The ridicule?
The confusion?
The awkwardness?
The awkwardness...
The ******* awkwardness.
Or perhaps, it is maybe something else?
Maybe
Maybe the fear that this moment
This perfect moment I hold here
Might be lost if I say
Hey
I like you.
But then again.
Maybe not.
