when you look at me
i feel like you see what's really there
i feel like you see through me
and it's terrifying.

i'm not sure why.
i feel a connection between us
but maybe it's just me.
but being with you makes me feel real.

i feel like i can tell you things
i only think about when i'm by myself.
like i don't have to be strong
or pretend i'm someone else.

it's a scary thought
that someone could know every part of you.
but maybe i'm starting to believe
that it wouldn't be so bad.
