My Fear? Rejection

My Fear? Rejection

By: LadyVelvet18

That dreaded word “rejection”

It strikes fear in my heart

Telling him how I feel for him

Doesn’t really sound very smart.

The boy I’m speaking about

He’s the sweetest boy ever

The one I love and want to be with

And spend my life with him forever.

Those blue eyes are hypnotizing

They take my breath away

They’re just so beautiful

I could look into them all day.

We share so many things in common

There’s too many of them to name

I get butterflies inside whenever he’s around

And my heart burns inside from tender flames.

He’s so nice and kind to me

No other boys can compare to him

If he ever needed me, I would always be there

Stretching out to him on the last limb.

But then when I think about it

Do I really truly love him so?

I know I do: I can feel it

However, what if he rejects me and says no?

I’m so afraid to share my feelings

So I keep them all inside

I want him to be the last one to know

And so to my friends I confide.

But what if the secret slips out?

What if he finds out how much I care?

If he does find out and doesn’t feel the same

No one will know that he left me in despair.

But I don’t want to be like that

I want him to love me too

But I’m so afraid to tell him how I feel

And for him to say “I don’t really love you.”

It brings tears to my eyes

To think of his reaction

I don’t want him to reject me

Only to feel a sweet attraction.

I must make up my mind right now

But it might take a little while

Just thinking about him makes

My heart beat fast and my mouth smile.

I don’t want to be rejected

But I can’t hold it in any longer

Hopefully I won’t get rejected by him

And if so, I pray for God to make me stronger.

Gather up all of my strength

And push away all my fears

It’s time for me to say it now

Before my bravery disappears

I walk up to him, my heart beating wildly

I can do this, don’t chicken out

He gives me that smile and my knees feel weak

While my mind fills with many doubts.

“I know this may seem sudden

But I’m in love with you”

My voice falters at his face

My fear of rejection has come true.

I walk away, tears in my eyes

But I feel his hand suddenly in mine

“Don’t walk away, please stay with me Allie

I promise with me, you’ll always be fine.”

Suddenly, back in my bedroom at home

I wake with a smile: I know what to do

It’s time to tell him now before it’s too late

“I can’t take it anymore; I’m in love with you.”
