I almost smiled when you glanced at me…
But I was afraid you were looking at someone else.
I almost called you last night…
But I was afraid you wouldn’t answer.
I almost asked you on a date…
But I was afraid you were busy.
I almost held your hand…
But I was afraid it would be cold.
I almost told you I loved you…
But I was afraid there was nothing I could say.
I almost told you I loved you…
But I was afraid you’d turn away.
So I’m sorry I can’t tell you my feelings,
Even though they eat me up inside,
I just have this constant fear
That you’d brush me off to the side.
There you are, right before me,
And I dare not say a word.
So quiet and so silent,
Nothing even mumbled or studdered.
Like an idiot, I’ll keep my feelings hidden
Because I know he doesn’t feel as I do.
