UNSPOKEN

I cannot bring myself to believe
That there is someone out there for me
Who will not hurt me or allow me to cry
With anger and rage and whatever comes to mind

I am so shy even when you walk into the room
I look you in the eye and still the words are unspoken
As we sit across from each other I wonder if you are that much older

Then I think of those who went before
They were young and one was older
But they made me feel nothing like this

Somehow you make me seem very safe
But I will not know the truth to this
Until I say that it’s you I seek

I want to tell you whatever comes to my mind
But as soon as I see you, I just want to hide
