Words unspoken,
Measurable only by your eyes.
Breath, lost in the seconds
Waiting to unravel the story.

Trembling, my fingers
brush against your hand.
Dare I hold you in my heart?
Promising, safety exists there
in the softness
of my face buried in your neck.

Assure me—talk to me endlessly.
Murmurs of your voice
tilt my attention.
Your chest rises and falls,
each breath shallower.
Equilibrium. I too,
falter at what to say.

Oh, let me
let you
give in to the pull.
May I hold your name
and kiss you goodnight
and good-morning?
Shall I melt beside you
and confess this love?

My love, this pull
found me
the moment
I stepped through
that door.
Anyways, I am feeling feelings. Where’s my courage?
