Can I tell you a secret? I say,

Because you are the only one

Who I can actually trust.

Anything, you reply.

When you said it,

You didn't sound curious.

You sounded like you actually cared.

But then I think...

I want to confide in you, but how?

How can I possibly tell you

All my secrets?

I need to tell someone, because honestly

They're eating me alive.

Maybe letting them out will help me

In some miraculous way.

But then, what if it doesn't?

What if you think I'm a freak?

A loser?

A psychopath?

What will I do then?

Cry my heart out?

Cut until my skin becomes raw?

Too late. I already do that.

But what if telling you just makes it worse?

Then I think again...

Why am I always so afraid?

Why am I constantly thinking about

The "What-If"'s instead of living in the moment?

Why can't I just take risks?

I hesitate for a moment,

But then, I lean closer to your ear.

I love you, I whisper.

Do you love me too?
