Heart beats fast
Blood pressures up
Buzz in your head
Every cell & follicle stands up
Peace on contact
Fire still burns
Laughter in conversation
Passion still churns
Knowledge & ideas shared
Desire holds tight
So much binds them
Yet fear divides
Unknown outcomes
Past mistakes
Current situations
Comfortable yet uncomfortable space
Knowing that now
Liked or not
Seems easier to stay in
Than giving the uncharted a shot
What if it's not
All that they dream
But what if it's more
Than just what's been seen
Should it be bottled
And left on a shelf
To molder and crumble
And shrink on itself
Or should they shirk off
The old ties that bind
And find out what happens
When they give it a try
No one wants to hurt
And no one wants to wound
But what if denial
Brings just what they fear
The loss of someone
Who has become so dear
A favorite line comes to mind
At these times
Fear is the mind killer
Perhaps the heart also withers
