I hesitate

I get abashed and all tongue-tied
some part of me's embarrassed, it's true
my strongest feelings stay suppressed
I leave them all unexpressed
and I hesitate to tell you openly
I feel for you

I'm all afraid and reticent
it's probably rejection I fear
now we've been talking for a while
I should respond to your smile
but I hesitate to show you openly
I hold you dear

my face is red, my mouth is dry
I tell my head to find the will to try
but courage just deserts me

we spend the time in niceties
if I could only break the barrier there
oh just how much I wish you knew
I feel attracted to you
but I hesitate to tell you openly
how much I care
