"I'd sell my soul just to see your face And I'd break my bones just to heal your pain In these times, I need a saving grace Time is running out and I'm starting to lose faith."
These lyrics by Florida Georgia Line stand out to me. I would do anything for this girl I like. I've been in love with her for a year. But sometimes, I think she's mad at me When most of the time, it's me overreacting Everything is fine I try to tell myself that I bleed out my heart for her This puts me at my lowest point to know she could potentially be mad at me It kills every nerve inside of me I feel like she isn't paying attention to me And the worst part of liking someone Is pretending to be okay when they don't pay attention to you I post really good testimonies sometimes and most of the time, she likes them But lately, I feel like it's been dead And so has our relationship But just the other day, she liked something of mine So am I just an overreacter? I want us to be together more than anything Anything. ANYTHING. In the beginning, it seemed so right Because we had a lot of things in common We are both Christians We worship Jesus We both love country music There is only one thing: She is the same gender as me And there's no way she would date a girl Which is normal I know a lot of people like that That makes her human I haven't hidden the fact that I'm gay to a lot of people But there is one secret I have hidden I'm about to let it out Because I'm at my lowest point And I'm extremely vulnerable When I graduate high school I want to get gender re-assignment surgery Not for her Well I guess you could say that's a tiny part of it I've always liked girls since I was in like first grade Had no idea there was a name for it I have a fear though My church is such a big part of my life and who I am I'm scared to death that they won't want me to or let me serve if I change It scares me to the point where I make myself sick And yeah I feel like a hypocrite Because I teach kids every single week That they should be who God created them to be And yet I can't even do that But I love what I do at church If I didn't care about it, I wouldn't, excuse my language, make such a **** effort to go If I couldn't serve, I don't know what I'd do I don't care if people judge me This is my life Let me live it This girl knows about it Actually, most of my friends know about it Sometimes I think I made a mistake doing that Because that is just another way for her to think I like her I don't want that. I try not to hang around her too much Don't want to make it obvious She has gotten me through a lot of stuff Honestly. I told her and she said she'd support me Although, it was awkward Like she doesn't agree with it I get this feeling all the time that she knows about me liking her And just the mere thought of her being with someone else sickens me I can make myself feel like I just spun around in a chair fifty times by thinking about it. It kills. What am I supposed to do?! It's not like I can ask her if she's mad because she's probably not and that just makes me seem like a worried idiot That makes me seem like I really care what people think about me When I don't I am my own self Not perfect But who is? God, send me a sign that things are okay. Please. Because I really need it And when it gets like this, I think back to suicide I don't know Do I really want to go that far? After I've come this far? I am an overcomer I want to defeat this And when I'm a guy someday I'm going to be the happiest I've ever been With or without her in my arms But I prefer that she would be
