What If I Told You?

To No One Particularly,

What if I told you how I felt?
What if I told you all the hidden things?

What if I told you?
Would you run away?

Would you accept my vulnerability?
Would you be honest with me?

Would things be awkward?
Would you flee?

Would you tell me we can still be friends?
Would you tell me this is the beginning or is this the end?

How would I know the truth,
If What I felt for you,
Is what you also felt for me too?

How would I know if I never took the risk,
Never took the chance,
Never let those feelings out,
But instead kept the inside,
Held them back?

Why would I change things between us?
Why would I risk our friendship?
Why would I make things complicated?

What if I told you I think you are worth the risk?
What if I laid myself bare and told you how I felt?
