The truth is you petrify me.
When I think of you,
A manic smile lights up my face.
A grin of terror.

Please do not be disheartened.
For I do love you.
But I have felt this way before,
It didn't end well.

I push myself to be able,
to show I trust you.
To open up, share my secrets,
dark and daunting.

You are the sun personified,
shining beyond you.
I am moonlight, mysterious
Glowing in the dark

You warm my heart with your smile
Just know I love you.
My smile may contain a flicker
But it's stong and true.
