Sweet, but scared.

The way sunshine looks good on you, the way words escape your mouth, even if it's just a few, The way you touch me, sometimes causing me blindness, It's hard to see, The way I stammer, The way you are harsh, Like a hammer, The way I naturally back into corners, You are tough, I am not strong enough, You are my opposite, yet, you seem familiar to me. The way I fear talking to you, afraid to turn you blue. The way I am to shy to fully give myself to you, In fear of being turned away. Not taking the right cue.
