i love to listen attentively
to all of your adventuring plans.
the ones where you
do the unthinkable;
reach the unreachable.

becoming close to you
has brought something new:
a brightness or a happiness—
something cheery and sunshiney.

i can’t say anything yet;
it’s all under the wrong circumstances.
if i say something now,
i risk losing you.

this is brand new.
this is so good.
i don’t want to give it all up,
as self-centered it may seem.
but i feel guilty for keeping
the realest of my feelings inside.

what do i say?
what do i do?
how do i act natural
when all i want
is you?
