Why can't I just tell him,
What it is I feel for him?

Why can't I just ask him,
How he feels about me?

Am I sending the right signals?
If not, why can't I?

Is he sending me signals?
If so, why can't I clearly read them?

Why must this aspect of my life,
Be ruled by so much fear?

And why do matters of the heart,
Have to be so complicated?
