Too Timid

I’m too timid to tell you
What I really think
Can you imagine me timid?
Is that humanly possible?

I am so loud and funny
And probably conceited
I talk to everyone
And try hard to be friendly

When I am around you
I am like that
On the outside

On the inside I am melting
My heart pounds so loud
I hope that you can’t hear it
Can you?

Inside I melt away everything that I try to be
And become the person that I am
You bring out the best in me
Did you know that?
Now you do

I am too timid to tell you
What I really think
Too timid to put my heart on the line
Can you forgive me for that?

I am not perfect
But I can love with a perfect love
In my eyes you are perfect
Can you accept me for who I am
Or will you leave me as well?

Take me as I am. I can be good for you
I’ll make you smile, I’ll make you happy
Give me a shoulder to cry on
My tears are reserved for you

I haven’t wasted any yet
I hope I never have to
