I talk myself in
I talk myself out

I pine
And I pause
And I hesitate

Hem-
Haw

Stumped by
Indecision

Fascinated
By you

Brain whizzing
Heart swooning

The duality of
Harsh critic
And romantic youth

Practicality tempers
The foolish hopes
Of the dreamer

They duel out
My insecurities
And reshape
My aspirations
Slicing away the cravenness
That covers my desires

Now
Daring is comfort
And Chance is worth the
Risk of Happiness

Hello lover.
