Maddening questions

Do you feel the same as I? When I’m near, does your heart thunder and mouth go dry? When I cross your mind, do you smile and heave a sigh? When asked by friends, do you have to lie? When I must distance myself, do you ask yourself why? Do you fight urges to stare at me, or steal glances on the sly?

Do you seek comfort in my presence, when it’s all been enough to make you cry? Do you make excuses to be near me, like a junkie chasing a high? Your an incredible friend so I don’t want to ask, don’t want to pry, if I drove you away I’d want to die.

What I really wanted to ask was, do you feel the same as I? And does the gain outweigh the risk enough to even try?
