Awkwardly Stumbling

Struggling to fight
the feelings that dwell inside
Keep me awake at night
with emotions trying to hide
My fears of loneliness
might drive you far away
Shaking with nervousness
never knowing what to say
Courage stumbles awkwardly
shying the bold and strong
Soul pouring out to you
stories of the past
Desires of something true
hoping they will last
You bring out
the best in me
Without any doubt
things we can't always see
My heart pounds
to keep a steady beat
Yours with all sounds
you've on with no defeat
