I fell in love
with your face and picture.
When I first saw you,
I didn't know what to do.

When I saw you,
in person, too.
I never knew
how much I'd fall for you.

Now, I'm really scared.
I don't know what to do.
Please excuse me,
please don't be afraid of me.

I swear I'm safe,
and I will try my best to never hurt you.
I'll try my best to never, ever hurt you.
I won't do what the others did to you.

I can see it in your eyes,
you're just as scared as I feel
and I won't show it
but I know we both feel the same.

I don't know what to tell you,
I think I love you, too.
And I'm so scared that you don't see it.

What am I supposed to do?
I'm just a girl
I'm only 22.

But the world feels so old,
the world feels so cold,
and I feel so old.

I know I'm still so young,
but trust my tongue
when I say you are what I am thinking of.

Please don't mistake my words as new,
I know what you have been through.
I've been through it, too.

At least a thousand times before.
