Open mouth, insert foot
I seem to do this all too easily
I have found someone really great
He is honest, open, and sweet
But wouldn't you guess?
I open my mouth, and he seems to be running!

My question is, do I hide my feelings, thoughts, and emotions
Just to prevent losing him?
Am I to life to myself, him, the world?
Why is this so confusing?
Someone, please help me!
