Listen
Admit the fact, it took a long time to
realize; why you can't look straight
to his eyes; feel why stay distrait
in his absence, delay can't wait.
While he's away, you behave madly too
that shows the angst; isn’t it your fear
of losing him, but when you hear
his voice, you're afraid to go near.
In his presence why you just fail to start
to speak: heart tells something to do
but brain says no; you continue
to fight with yourself what to do.
Heartfelt truth you love him, need to assert;
Yet, feel shy to speak, listen to your heart.
