I could tell you all the things I'm feeling...
I could tell you
how my heart skips a beat
when i hear your voice
how my soul sings
when I am with you
I could tell you...
That I love you.
NO
I like it here,
it's safe
so I'll just go on loving
and you just go on living
and let me be happy here
because it's safe here
even if
you don't know how I feel
I can bare the pain of denial
much easier
than the pain of rejection.

dear LUV-E, please stop peeking into my heart, and stealing ideas

. i always felt like that. it was much better for the attraction to be denied, and the love to be unrequited, than to put myself out there, open to ridicule and rejection. then two weeks ago, she walked up to me, and she started chatting to me, and even though every fibre in my body screamed at me to run away, and questioning what was in it for her, i decided to take it a step at a time, and to see where it would lead. and as i showed more and more glimpses of myself, she did not laugh, she didn't run away. i don't know where it will lead, and how far it will go, but, damn it, it's gonna be fun finding out.

stick in there, and take a chance once in a while.

Good work...it's very easy to relate to.
I lived that path for a large chunk of my life. But you know what? The pain of rejection is not nearly as bad as the anticipation of it. That's something I finally realized about 7 years ago. No, the denial is actually far worse...the denial gives you no power over your own circumstances; you just wind up playing a waiting game in limbo, hoping that this person will pull you out of it. Too much of your life can pass you by.
It's okay to take a risk once in a while, because the longer you wait, the greater your emotional investment, the greater your anticipation, the greater your fear, and the greater potential let down.
As overused as this phrase is, it actually has a bit of merit: "just do it."
