Not Guilty / Gotcha!

I'm split in the middle of something-
Something important
I just can't decide
Whether I should be happy
With you
Or should I accept these feelings of mine

I know it's true to me
But would it be to you?
Would these lies I've told myself
Make a difference in the world around me
Had I not said them
In the first place?

Riddle me this:
You walk in the hallways
You see someone
They make you feel heard
Heard of all my problems
All my troubles
Everything.

But how could they know?
A stranger, it baffles me
Truly it does

Then, riddle me this:
If they were to know,
Would you let them go
With that knowledge in mind?

This feeling has been stuck with me
Ever since that fateful day,
And I just can't help but think
If present me would react differently,
than me all that time ago

I wrote it down,
Hoping this would give me enough courage
To finally share it
With somebody

No longer will the guilt
Keep me weighed down,
And I shall rise above the rest
Who thought otherwise of me

I got the memo
I understood what it took
And I gave it my all

Isn't that all that matters?
