The glow in my eyes
The smile I deny
I'm terrified

I know the straight line of your nose
Memorized the dimple in your chin
Engraved in my mind your spicy scent
I'm terrified

Your laughter rings in my ears
And I hear your sayings escape my lips
I'm terrified

I love the feel of your skin under my fingertips
My heart flutters when you hold my gaze
I'm terrified

Scared to want more from you
Petrified of asking
I'm struck mute by the possibility of your rejection
I'm terrified

I care for you more than I'd care to admit
And I am terrified by it
