Why is it so hard?

Why is it so hard,
To tell you how I feel,
To tell you that I care for you,
And what I feel is real.

I know that we’ve just met,
And I too thought this was weird,
But from the moment we first spoke,
It was something I feared.
That my feelings for you would grow,
And I’d be too afraid,
To tell you that I like you,
And from me you would fade.

For I don’t claim to be good looking,
And I’m not the brightest in the class,
But the friendship I can offer you,
Is something I hope we can’t surpass.

I fear that if I tell you,
What I try to keep inside,
That our friendship it will cease,
And from me you will hide.

When I look into your blue eyes,
I see the perfect friend,
Yet when I start to look further,
A different message I want to send.

For me it’s not that easy,
To express just how I feel,
For last time I was hurt,
It took a long time for the wound to heel.

Rejection is a loss,
I simply can’t deny,
For it makes me feel as though,
My intuition is all a lie.

So_ _ _ I hope now you can see,
Why I can’t come out and say,
That I’d really like to see you,
As more then just a friend one day.
