Two small letters

Alone with little significance

But when paired

Carry heavy consequence

Repulse and rejection

Persuasion and promise

A single syllable that

With impeccable timing

Can ignite  powerful fire

But first that leap

One of faith and blind abandonment

Must be taken

To go

Where many have gone

With dreams of different results

To break down walls built strong and high

A hard earned twinkle

Gleaming in her eyes

That smile so sharp

Cutting sweetly deep

Releasing the **** holding back

Everything in life you wish for

Before you I stand

Heart pounding heavy

Ready to leap from my chest

With one thing on my mind

A single statement to be made

Not that your elegant beauty brightens the world

For that is an obvious truth

This statement is much simpler

Bold and beautiful

If uttered correctly

As I bring myself to meet your eyes

Deep like the sea and powerful

Like the waves crashing on the shore

My lips part

"Hi."
