Foolproof

I want to know the things about you
That the internet could never tell me
I want to get to know your ways
Learn the quirks of your personality
I wish to study up on you
As if you were an open book
Memorize your every passage
As you warm my heart with every look
To me you're something special
That is obvious to see
And I can't stop my mind from toying
With the many possibilities
How frightened I would be to find
That you do really care for me
But it seems the alternative is much worse
So for now I'll stick to thinking positively
I want to tell you how I feel
But I'm afraid of rejection
I've thought about this far too long
And I know you're my selection
But why you would ever seek me out
Is completely beyond me
Being honest with myself
I'm not all I'm cracked up to be
But I'm too scared to ask you why
So I guess it'll remain a mystery
For my fear that you will change your mind
Outweighs my curiosity
So I'll devise a foolproof plan
To make you want to speak with me
And maybe at that point in time
I'll have a solution in my reach
