You spoke words so reassuring,
They would scare away any doubts
That attempted to overcome
The solid walls surrounding my soul.
You spoke with such sincerity
And a protective, careful heart,
That my natural defenses always scaring people away,
Could not fight it
Your voice,
How you held both my hands
As if defending them from anything other than yours.
You spoke with such clarity, a lucid certainty,
No word of yours has escaped my mind since that night
I believed everything. How stubborn of me.
I regained any hope that was lost
The last time I swore not to risk it again
For a chance at love.
You spoke the words that would fearlessly shatter every wall I’ve ever built
to fight this desire to feel your lips on mine.
The words you seem to have performed
The way only experienced actors can.
The words any girl would obey to
Once they felt them seductively grazing their lips.
The words that transformed my plain, guarded self
To a state of proud invincibility
Just by having them leaving your lips to be harbored in mine.
You said “don't be scared” and you showed me how
When you kissed me under the risky moonlight.
But I only wish you could
Still live up to these defiant words.
Don’t be scared.
