Secretly in Love with You

whenever your name is mentioned, my stomach gets tight and I fall prey into getting emotional
it's something about you that makes my knees weak and my head to become light
I know that my feelings toward you are strong, but I don't want to push you away
it's sad to say, but I'm in love with a man that may not love me back

wanting to get over my fears, I picture me telling you how I feel
but, whenever I get the chance, I become nervous and my words become silent
I am so afraid of your rejection, that I would rather someone else to tell you how I feel,
but they would not even be able to express my feelings the way I could
in telling you what's real

I notice every little thing about you
 remembering every story that you tell, I even know your favorite things to do
whenever we have conversations, I'm intrigued about how much you really know
I get excited at the fact that you open up to me in ways that you wouldn't do other women
so I continue to ask questions, because I'm always wanting to know
thinking closely of our connection, I'm not sure exactly how you see me, nor do I care to ask

the truth is that I'm secretly in love with you
I want to tell you, but I don't want to tell you
I guess I'll just be content with the friendship, instead of revealing what's really inside....
