To Change or not to Change

He is sitting right there, a few feet away from me.

There is a smile on his face, it is warm and friendly.

His blue eyes are bright as he turns to me, a question on his lips.

I answer with a smile of my own, as if my heart isn't burning with indecision.

I want to tell him, I want to admit how I really feel about him.

But what if he doesn't return my feelings?

What if he finds it too awkward to hang around me anymore?

What if he stops being my friend?

But there isn't any kind of lover in his life right now.

For all I know, this is my only chance.

I guess I at least owe it to myself to take it, so I won't be filled with regret or what if's.

Even if our relationship may change in a way I don't want it to.
