I'd be okay if you sang out of tune, I'd be fine if you accidentally bit my tongue when we were making out I'd be okay if you didn't come to my house "soon" I'd even be fine if after a date you walked me out. But what if you say no? When I ask you out the first time What if you can't go when I need help with a mole hill I can't quite climb. What if we kiss and you don't feel a spark What if I can't make you laugh when I tell a joke.. I want to hold your hand get you nervous at our touch Feel your pulse, clenched between our clutch. I want our love to blossom for you to always be mine I want to see you grow older watch as you age with time. As our lips would touch I'd want our hands to grasp I'd want to touch your lips and also your thigh gaps. But what if you say no? What if when I have a mountain, you call it a mole hill. What if I need you and you say I need to chill. What if when I want to hold you hand you pull away with disgrace Or when I go to press my lips against yours You turn away in distaste. These are my worst fears.
