Ship of Fools Lyrics

Beautiful song, I find it relating to my current situation. Have recently fallen for relatively new, slightly younger and closeted colleague (matched on a dating app is how I know!). He doesn't know the extent to which I like him- "why can't you see what you're doing to me my head is spinning?" The lyrics about him being young and uncertain accurately describe him. Whilst we are in regular contact, and there are definite feelings there, he seems too scared to let me any closer. My heart breaks for him that even now in 2019, he still seems to fear being who he truly is. There is a lot of potential there, I just hope he can overcome it one day!
