Dare

Don't you dare
Look me in the eye
And say those words to me

Don't you dare
Be the one to hear my secret
To tell me you think
you feel the same way

So shy to touch each other
This is so alien to me
But you refuse to take the lead
and I am a coward

So long since I've seen you,
And now that I've come to a realization,
Now that I am so close to telling you
What was so hard for me
To admit to myself,
You beat me to it

My world crashes at my feet
And I feel like such a fool

"I never meant for you
To fall in love with me"

How dare you
Lead me on

How dare you be more of a coward
than me
And tell me this
When you know how I feel
When you know what you mean to me

You avoided me, you shyed away
From talk of the future,
And I worried

What did I do?
Did I do something wrong?
I fell so hopelessly in love with you
And you threw it back at me
Like unwanted garbage

You were always the blunt one
Rarely tactful or delicate in matters
Even matters such as these

How dare you turn your eyes to me
Then quickly away as you utter
those words
Knowing you are breaking my heart
Knowing you are the first to do so
To get inside, and destroy it from within

I refused to give away my heart
until you
And you've destroyed my faith
Do you know how long it's been
since I've cried this hard?

Don't you dare
Raise those artist's hands
To move your hair from your face
Those hands that will never
Touch me again
Because of your fear

You were 'curious'
I was not

I was hopelessly in love with you
And now I am not.

Author's notes: this is about my first GF... i had never
been in a relationship before, so i wasn't sure what to do...
and i don't know how she felt. after i got back from basic training,
she broke up with me =p bleh.. it sucked. but i've got a new
koi, now. ^_^
