Too scared

Too scared to ask, too shy to dare
Too weakly hopeful not to care

Too scared that you would just say no
Too scared of where the path would go

Too scared that you just might say yes
That it might not be for the best

Too scared of spoiling what we are
Too scared of leaving some deep scar

Too scared we would not still be friends
Too scared that love would have to end

Too scared it would not last for long
Too scared that it would soon go wrong

Too scared we'd have nothing to say
Too scared of leaving my today

Too scared it would be just a dream
That it would not be as it seemed

Too scared you would mock me, and laugh
Too scared you would not play your half

Too scared that you would wound my heart
Too scared we'd one day have to part

Too scared I'd hurt you, cause you pain
Too scared my hopes would be in vain

If it is true you feel as me
Please, from my anguish set me free

Ask me the thing I have not dared
Unless, of course, you are too scared
