Not Ready Yet
You're amazing; I know
but how can I show
you anything that's real
if I don't know how I really feel?
If my mind is lost
and my heart just stops
when you come into sight
then speeds with fright.
I know you like me; you know I like you
but seriously, hunn, what do we do?
It's too late to stop; turn away.
If we did, I'm sure, my heart would break.
I think just maybe
I have an even deeper feeling
in your case
though I'll never say it to your face.
I think the "L" word
is what I'm looking for
but I'm not ready to say that
to someone else just yet.
The last guy said it back
but he seriously lacked
the commitment needed
and, in breaking my heart, succeeded...
I trusted him; gave him my heart,
it hurt so much when he did start
to tell me it was a lie.
I told myself, "Don't you cry."
I didn't; I'm glad
but I'm still not ready for the "L" word again just yet......
