the way i feel

By: katie m may

I want to tell you how i feel,
And I've come so close before.
But everytime i go to do it,
..... I can't anymore.

I know you probably would like
for me to tell you how i feel, too;
But you don't understand
what your slightest reaction to it could do.

I do want you to give me a reaction,
But more than just an 'okay.'
But everytime i go to tell you, there's a destraction,
Another feeling in the way.

A feeling of being afraid,
Of what my feelings will cost;
A feeling of losing the friendship we've made,
Another love lost.

So when the time comes,
When I finally get the guts to tell you how i feel,
Please don't just stand there,
And look at me as though i'm not for real.

Give me a reaction to the way i feel for you,
And how you feel for me.
That way i know
If we were really ever meant to be.
