Can't
Stop Myself
As I watched you sitting alone
somehow you looked out of
place
in surroundings unfamiliar
to you
from the look upon your
face.
You seemed lonely,
shy and unsure
so I decided to take a chance.
So I walked over to you
and asked if you would
like to dance.
We danced around the floor
until the song came to an
end.
I liked your boyish, happy
smile.
Time with you was a pleasure to
spend.
We enjoyed each other's company
and already you seemed special
to me.
Throughout the night we talked
and danced until it was time to
leave.
For some reason
I let my defenses down.
I was relaxed as I could
be.
I didn't expect to see you
again
for what could you possibly see
in me.
Now I could spend every moment
with you as our time goes
by so fast.
You have awakened a part in
me
I believed was dead in the
past.
I'm afraid to be involved with
you
as I've been hurt deeply
before
but now I can't seem to stop
myself
and only seem to want you
more.
All these feelings emerging
inside
I thought I could live
without.
My emotions are going in
circles
causing me confusion and
doubt.
I only know that I feel so
happy
when I spend time with
you.
Maybe I can get over these
fears
and learn to start
anew.
When my emotions quit fighting
and I learn to let myself
be
maybe then I will know what I
feel
but something really frightens
me.
