i just don't know

9/5/2017

​my thoughts, they get in the way
of what i desperately want to say
i try to speak through timid affection
maybe chemistry is lustful deception
was never one to shy away from my feelings
but my mind, it’s not willing
to deal with what my heart is afraid to show
i just don’t know...
where will this go?
how can we grow?
or are you all show?
 
i just...
i just...
 
looking in your eyes, see a trusting soul
they’re showing me what you’ve already told
it’s easy being in your company
no representative, with you… i’m me
you're everything i’ve been praying for
my soulmate, I wanna love forever more
and more is what you want me to show.... so we can grow
i just don’t know...
where will this go?
how can we grow?
or are you all show?
 
i just...
i just...
 
i’m asking myself, “why you conflicted in soul?”
fuckboys in my past treated me so cold
i can’t let my baggage affect us
but i have issues with trusting trust
now i’ve found someone who treats me worthy
still, i feel guarded
don't want to rush or hurry
i wonder if you're for me
i wish it were so
so hard to let worries go
i just don’t know
