What if
Because it's easier to stay
in this limbo
in this phase
Because it's easier to hide feelings then show
Because it's easier to just go home
Because it's easier not to know
Because what if
Because what if you do
Because what if you don't
Or you already have someone else
Or multiple elses
Or you have no interest in myselfs
And what if it's awkward
Or what if it ends
Or
But I can't know
We can't know
This is how this works
You have to try
You just have to try
And it can or it can't
And it will or it won't
But I care so much that I don't
want to know because that's safer, it's safer to stay here and not jump in the pool
It's safer to take the bus and go to school
It's safer to pick the flowers and write the poems and sing the songs and you go one way and I go the other
But it certainly isn't fun
It certainly doesn't feel good
And what if it just worked
What if it just worked
What if
And you'll never know if you don't try
If you never ask, you'll never get the guy
So stop overthinking it
Say what you need to say
Know they can say yes or no anyway
And you will survive
And it might suck
But you are strong
And your feelings aren't wrong
So please don't let yourself string you along
Open your mouth
Speak
Know that vulnerability isn't weak
It takes courage
It takes strength
It takes putting yourself on the plank
And you won't die
You will survive
And if they say yes, you might even thrive!
And if they say no, that's okay too - you'll let them go and be able to move on too <3
You can do this
I believe in you
You can do this
Your feelings are true
You can do this
Don't think - just do.
