Something You Wouldn'T Really Expect.. Poem by Shannon Nicole

You said I looked like I wanted to say something,
But at the same time.. I was holding back.
I would bite my lip when you'd look at me,
Because there's something I didn't want to say.

There's three words,
That I don't think either of us want to hear at the moment.
There's something that I'd like to stay away from,
At least for a while.

You're always asking me what's on my mind,
And it's killing me not to tell you,
But at the same time,
I'm afraid that you'll laugh at me.

There's one thing I want to tell you,
But I'm not really sure I want to really tell you.
I'm staring off in space,
Because I keep replaying how your reaction would be.

I don't want you to ditch me this quick,
Just because I have these stupid emotions that won't numb.
I really, really like you,
But really.. my mind tells me something more.

Finally my smile has reached my eyes,
Because for once in a long while,
I'm happy and I like it this way.
I don't need to hide my smile,
But I do it to be shy.

You say I'm cute,
I hide because it's my childish side kicking in.
I wish she'd go away,
So you could actually see my blush and smile.

I wonder how many ways I could..
I just don't want to say it.
You probably know what I wanted so bad to say,
But really don't want to know your reaction.
