How Strange Is That

I asked because I want to have...
But now that I think I am getting what I wanted, I’m denying receiving it…
Already scared to lose what is not yet mine…
This… is really confusing…

Did you hear that?
I think my heart just beat three times in the skip of one…
Whew! This is not fun…

I see your eyes pierce my being
Shyly, I’m denying your seeing, me
I don’t see you… Well… Yes, I do… but I don’t want to…
OK! Well, maybe I do… But… I’m scared to…
Do you really see me? I’m scared to have what I’ve never had…
Yet scared to lose what is not yet mine, which is you… I think..?

Wanting to deny you just out of fear of loving you, to lose you…
How strange is that?

I’m not saying I fell in love or nothing…
But I do think I walked into love…
Yet, I don’t know where I am…
I’m lost… and Well, I…I…I think I’m ok with that…
