Tenable

You miss us

We inspire you

As do you inspire us

You respect us,

And likewise, we respect you

 

If it were either one of us,

You'd take the chance

Together are we so intimidating?

We are ready and waiting to help

You take that leap, we will be your wings

On either side

 

We put our trust in you

To not hurt us

Ready to accept your trust

To not damage you either

The last thing we could ever want

 

Baby steps

I don't want the moon and stars from you

But a little companionship

And conversation

 

Any response...

 

Tell me inconsequential things

Tell me monumental things

Tell me all the in-between things

I want to know you more

 

I wonder if you talk to your friends of us

This crazy couple who wants you so desperately

Only desperate not to ignore a magnetism so full of potential

How can you deny yourself this?

But no, you wouldn't gossip

You're too private, and respectful for that

Just another of your fine qualities we admire

 

Detached, floating above the world

In your uncertainty

I would tell you how I've missed you

If I thought you were staying

But I'll not waste my breath if you're walking out again
