I wanted to tell you how I felt I wanted you to know what was going through mind, but. . . . I was afraid You see, Being me, I was afraid Afraid you won't really understand Afraid that you have other things on your mind more important than what I'm going through I was afraid that you would no longer look at me the same way I was afraid And so I was silent I said nothing And the unspoken words welled up as tears as I lay by myself in bed that night As they always do when I don't say What I want to say What I need to say It's lonely being afraid And it's scary to tell someone That you feel so alone That's what I was afraid to tell you, And I was afraid to ask you "Are you lonely too?"
