Why does holding your hand comfort me so?
Your hugs make me want to melt
Your smiles make me laugh and 
Your tears make me cry
How have you become so much
   a part of me in so short a time?
I can't imagine letting you go
And yet,  I still can't say the words
I still can't take the step
I'm so afraid of losing my best friend
to a few weeks of lust
No,it's not worth it
It's not
