how long will you hold yourself back?
even when it's really both of us,
unable to face our lovely truth.
limits are comfortable,
but i know
we both yearn
for the time, day, minute,
that we stop holding back.
will we stop staring at each other-
but avoiding contact longer than a second?
will we only be free from our mind traps,
when all is over.
when there couldn't possibly be anything holding us back.
would there be a flood of the years
of moments that could've happened sooner.
but really,
what is left holding us back?
