In fear of me

You can't even look at me
i think you're afraid of what you'll see
you whisper when i come around in fear that you'll be heard
be afraid because i hear your every word
you can't speak to me for you have nothing to say
and silence goes on day by day
are you afraid that you will love me?
what would the problem in that be?
deep down i don't even know what i think
I'll have to give my feelings a chance to sink
in my heart i wish that i could be what you want me to be
but who else can i really be but me?
