I'm scared
To lose you

I try my best
To be flexible

I'm afraid
To hurt you

I need you
Though I say not.

I love you
Though I express it not.

But still...
That's all I do.

I want to stay
But will you let me?

I want to call you anytime
Will you pick my call?

I'm calling out
Reaching out
Just to hold you
As I did the first day.

Will he let me?
Is this the end?
Is this what it boils down to?
Is this all we had in us?
