I like you, I'm just scared to show you.

Do you like me too or am I just being a fool?

I don’t want to show you all that I have to offer.

What if it’s not enough for you?

What if you don’t like who I am?

It would be a waste of my love.

I would feel like I put all of my energy onto someone who didn’t love me.

Why would I take that risk?

I like you, I’m just too scared to show you.

I don’t know how you would respond to me.

What would you think if I told you how I really feel?

How would you feel if I told you I loved you for real?

Would you be scared?

Would you even care?

I don’t know if I could bear.

I like you, I’m just scared to show you,

But I’m going to be brave.

I will tell you how I feel.

I’ll ride the wave.

I’ll be real.
