I Don't

I don't talk to you
Because I fear the awkward silences
If I do.

I don't look at you
Because I fear that I
Won't be able to stop.

I don't love you
Because I don't want
You to break my heart.

I don't miss you
Because I don't want
To crave to see you.

I don't touch you
Because if I did
I'd want to again and again.

I don't smile at you
Because if I did
I wouldn't be able to smile again.

I don't walk with you
Because if I did
I'd want to run for you.

I don't do any of these things
Because I'm a coward
I'm afraid of my feelings.

But please
Don't think any less
Of me.
