Bashful, reserved
wanting to show my feelings
But I lose my nerve

The real me hidden deep inside
Hiding behind my smile
Showing false pride

Emotions burning deeply like fire
But too afraid to display them
too shy to let known my desires

Waiting for the right moment
to open the door to you
to let you see how deep my love is
how much I've longed for you too

Hidden behind the door
buried deep in my heart
A love that would be so true
from you it would never want to part

Patiently I am waiting
for you to come around
and whisper in my ears those words
that create a lovely sound

But meantime
I remain bashful, shy
My true feelings locked inside me
wanting to scream out
wanting to cry
