Fearless is not about being 100% unafraid but being absolutley terrified and jumping anyways.

You,you just walked away
Never heard the words
I whispered
Following your footsteps

You,you never listened
If you had you
Would know,That i
Loved You,Cared For you

But you just walked away
Never stayed to hear me out
The words that i whispered
Following you footsteps

And they will be
haunting every step
You take till the day
You stop running,
Running away...runing away

You just walked away
and never stayed...
To hear me out
The words that i whispered
Following your footsteps

I was thinking about what i never said to someone who meant so much to me and the poem just pieced itself together telling how a person whispered the words they should've said before that special one was gone
