Why Do I Feel Like This?

My heart flutters, jumps and skips a beat.
It stops, like time standing still.
Then starts again, it clanking like an old car.

My palms are sweaty.
And my hands are shaking.
My knuckles are white, from nervous clenched fists.

I can't seem to think, straight at all.
My mind is spinning, and my words are a slur.
I stand still, and silently, my mouth feeling dry.

Why does this seem so hard.
Why does love have to be so hard.
I can't seem to tell you what's on my mind.

I don't know how, I've kept it in for so long.
And know that I have you, I can finally break free from my shell.
I have you to thank.

Even though when I talk to you.
I can't think straight, and my heart seems to stop.
My hands sweat and shake.

And I am at a loss for words
My nerves increase.
And I can't seem to think straight.

I enjoy the feeling.
The feeling you give when I see your MSN name come on.
How I dream of you every night.

How I am angry when you aren't on.
Or how sad I become when I can't talk with you.
Why does love have to be so hard?

And honestly, I wouldn't give it up.
Not for anything in the world.
Even if times are hard, I'm willing to fight for you.

If love was so easy.
Then falling out of love should be easier.
And broken hearts, wouldn't exist.

And hearts wouldn't stop.
Hands wouldn't sweat or shake.
And I could think clearly all of the time.

But what would be the fun of loving someone.
If the thrills involved just disappeared?
Enjoy it while you have it.
