Analysis of Leap of Faith
You look at me
I look away
You talk to me
I cant find words
You smile at me
My face turns red
Because I cant ignore
My feelings for you
Love I think
Is what I am feeling
Of course I can't be sure
I need some help
To understand how I feel
I wish I could tell you
But I am to scared
For what if you
Don't feel the same
I guess I just
Have to close my eyes
And take a leap of faith
