Don't tell me your name
Because you know I'll never forget it
Don't tell me what you like
Because you know I'd do anything you want
Don't look at me that way
Because I'll have to look away.
(I don't want you to see my soul just yet.)
Don't tell me you like me
Because you know I already like you back
Don't brush my hand with yours
Because you know it sends shivers up my spine
Don't whisper softly in my ear
Because you know I'll just close my eyes and sigh.
(I might want you to see my soul soon.)
Don't tell me you love me
Because you know I'll fall further in infatuation with you
Don't brush your lips against mine like that
Because you know it makes me feel giddy inside
Don't hold me too tightly
Because you know I have a hard time letting go.
(I want you to see my soul now.)
Don't look away when I speak
Because you don't want to hear what I have to say
Don't tell me it's goodbye and not to cry
Because you know I will anyway
Don't tell me it's over and you don't love me anymore
Because I know you hear my heart shattering.
(I'm sorry I let you see my soul.)

I enoyed reading this...how you described the uneasy steps to opening up and once you do...a heart ends up shattered...the very fear happens...
Life and Love is without a doubt about chance...
