I fell asleep in confidence,

I'd tell you tomorrow even if it killed me.

I heard the lyric that would change my life,

Or, at least, it should be.

All next day, I replayed the words,

"Love like I'm not scared."

I told myself I'd be no coward,

And get rid of this weight,

Once and for all.

My heart beating, hard, fast.

The whole day I tried not to hyperventilate.

When finally, when at last,

It came to the very end of the day.

Palms sweating,

Heart beating,

Almost running away, but then,

I saw my friend.

I told her I'd do it,

I told her it was true.

I couldn't lie,

So I went up to you.

"Umm hey, imma tell you something and go."

"Sure, what is it?" If only you'd known.

"I like you...like like-like you..." with blush on my face.

The shock upon yours put my words into place.

"So now I'm embarrassed, and I'm gonna go."

"What?" you called, yelling my name. "Wait, don't go!"

And, as I was coward, I ran off with my friend

I left you there, wanting the world just to end.

Luckily, 'twas the weekend come up at last.

I spent both the days regretting that task.

Wondering what your response would be,

Almost driven to crying over the fool that be me.

But I felt free

Of this burden

I'd carried for nearly three years

"Love like I'm not scared"

I'm no longer in fear

'Cause you didn't reject,

Though you've still to respond,

But I'm happy we're still friends.

We still get along.

And if, eventually, you come to say yes,

Just know that I'm here, and I will do my best.

But if you say, sorry, but you're not for me,

Just know I expected that from the beginning.

Now that I've confessed,

It's awkward, it's true,

But now I can stop

Hoping dumbly for you.

For if you were for me,

You'd have said yes from start,

Though I know that it's true

I'm just a friend in your heart.

It may slightly pain me you don't feel the same,

But remember, I expected this since that day.

And now that you know, I can finally move on.

Whose am I, you ask?

Who knows?

I was wrong.
