I'm wondering if when
your nervous lips graze mine
ever so slightly,
do you taste the uncertainty?
I hope you don't feel my body
lock up
and draw back.
All I want is your arms around me.
Really, I do.
I want to feel  you care about me.
And I try to close my eyes
and drift away.
I try to let your timid fingers
draw circles on my tense body,
but it's too much.
I'm pretty sure it will always be too much.
So if you could just,
be patient,
and go slowly,
I promise I can try my very hardest.
