I never looked at you
because I know
you’ll just glare back
I never talked to you
because
you’ll never talk back
I never held you
because
you’ll just pull away
from my embrace
I want to tell you
I love you
but
would you believe me?
I never said
I love you
because
I’m afraid
you don’t feel
the same way
and you’ll never
love me
back .
