I hold on because I'm afraid to let go.
I show no emotion because I'm afraid that
you'll know.
I bite my lip because I'm afraid of what
you'll say.
I hold back because I'm afraid you'll run away.
I keep my distance because I'm afraid
you'll catch on.
I don't sleep at night because I'm afraid
when I awake you'll be gone.
I let you know I exist because I'm afraid
you'll forget.
I cherish what we had because I'm afraid
you regret.
