SOS

This feeling, this feeling I'm having.
Is it love or lust?
Is it a fling, just another crush?
Is it just like the rest I thought I loved
But later turned out lost?
What if it's like the others?
What if I don't love him?
What if this feeling is untrue?
And what if I'm lying to myself?
But I can't.
If I don't take this chance how will I know?
I think of him every day.
I talk to him each day.
Miss him when I don't.
Is this real or just another crush?
Just like the others, I thought I liked,
And missed and loved, then unloved and forgotten.
God, please help.
So much love I can't give back.
So much care and so much trust.
So much love,
Just so much.
