Unsurety

The other night I laid and stared at your face
The other night I sighed a deep sigh in your embrace
The other night I found myself wanting to define
Whether or not I am yours and you are mine.

Before this began, I was content to be alone
Before this began, I was happy for friendship to be the tone
Before this began, I was satisfied
Or so I thought, or so I tried.

Now, I think of you all day
Now, I want you in every way
Now, I feel myself getting shy
Wondering if you will know why.

Can I tell you all that’s in my heart?
Can we last when we’re apart?
Can I truly let you in?
Is it safe to let this begin?
