The Fear of Telling You by walking shadow poetry.

I see you every day,
Your smile so bright and warm,
And every time our eyes meet,
My heart takes on a storm.

There’s something about you,
That makes my world stand still,
But every time I try to speak,
I lose my voice, lose my will.

I’ve got this crush,
It’s deep, it’s real, it’s true,
But the words are trapped inside me,
Too afraid to reach you.

What if you don’t feel the same?
What if I ruin what we have?
These thoughts keep me silent,
In the shadows, I remain.

I imagine telling you,
Letting it all pour out,
But fear grips my heart,
Filling my mind with doubt.

So, I keep it all inside,
This secret, this desire,
Hoping one day I’ll find the courage,
To step into the fire.

Because every time you laugh,
Or say my name with ease,
I wonder what it’d be like
To share more than just a tease.

But for now, I’ll just admire,
From a distance, from afar,
Wishing on a silent star
That you might feel it too, someday.

So I’ll keep my crush a secret,
Locked safely in my heart,
Until the day I’m brave enough,
To let the truth impart.

Maybe that day will come,
When I find the strength to say,
That you’re the one I think of,
In every single way.
