I like you a lot but I cannot say
For circumstances has made it to be this way
I want to tell you how much I care
But I cannot because I am overwhelmed with fear

How can I ever survive?
‘Cause telling you will be like a dare-devil dive
My emotions are all mixed up
And I have a feeling I’m in for a long drop

Why can’t I just say it out?
Why can’t I just open my mouth?
Whenever we’re talking it gets all cluttered
We start to quarrel and my true feelings are not muttered

You are completely opposite to me
Who am I fooling, we can never really be
Why can’t you say all you have for me is hate?
But even with that my feelings for you are too great

There’s nothing more I can say
So, I think it’s best if I stay away
Why has fate been so very unkind?
For I care for you and it’s driving me out of my mind

Every action of our lives touches some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

Being shy is something a lot of people need to overcome. Seize your moment, do it wisely, and try not to regret anything by NOT going after it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Ditto to Javi.  I don't think I could have said it better myself.
Nice work, I liked this poem.  And keep in mind what was said ^ up there.

i really liked this poem!  i can relate quite well, at this particular moment in time actually.  my only advice is for you to say what you gotta say before someone does it for you.  it's easier on the situation if you do it yourself.  the outcome might be different otherwise.

This is a really tough situation. I was in a similar one, but I told the guy how I felt. I got shot down, but it was much better than letting him leave my life without ever knowing what might have been. Thanks for sharing.

I do plan to seize the moment, it's just that I haven't found the right moment. I will tell the next time we meet..I hope anyway. Thanx all, for your support... I greatly appreciate it!

This is really sad...   It's well-written though and I feel your emotions.  Hope things turn out good 4 u.  Hope to see more.
