I’m a coward

I like you

Words I’ll never get to say

I fumble

My words, my actions

That’s why things never go my way

I’m a fool

I get butterflies when you look at me

But it’s just a passing glance for you

I’m confused

I don’t want love

But I want you

I’m a mess

I keep thinking about us

An us that didn’t exist

I’m in love

But you’ve moved on

And now I’m stuck with a love that can’t bloom

I’m scared

I don’t want love

If it brings so much pain

I want to be free

Free of these feelings

But I’m a coward

And that’s all I’ll ever be
