Why can’t I function around you
When you’re even remotely close to me it makes it harder and harder for me to breathe
My heart starts to race and my hands begin to shake
I can’t move
My stomach sinks to my a**
And I feel like I might die
You make me anxious.

That feeling has been depicted as love in the movies, but it can’t possibly be
I shouldn’t be on edge at the sight of you
I’m hyper-aware of your very existence
Your every move is on my radar and I catch chills
Shock runs through my body and I can hardly even focus
You make me indescribably anxious.

I want to run away, but the more I try, the closer you get
The more I run, I run myself up a wall
But being at a standstill isn’t helpful either 
because you push and I fall
I fall and I spiral
You strike a nerve
And you make me anxious.

My friends make fun of me for it like it’s funny
But it’s the opposite
I shouldn’t give you power
You shouldn’t be stopping s**t
I should just drop this s**t
It’s hard to just knock that s**t cause you make me so anxious
And it’s kinda hard to change it when I can’t move
I’m sorry if I act weird around you
You just make me anxious.
