In and out I go
into the realms of this here new
so much to ponder so much learn
to say hello or adieu

a magnetic force you're presence pulling me in
yet I am unsure of what's inside
heedful of what lies in the unknown
I won't let my heart be my only guide

"this time" I say with my head held up high
"I wont accept anything less than I'm worth.
for I know what I deserve and what I can offer
so much I have learned in my rebirth"

my apologies if I come off harsh
for I am still holding up a shield
I know the risks that come with this
for I myself have just healed

I won't resist the temptation though
both my heart and my head are aligned
my intuition tells me to carry on
and I feel that we both will be kind

I have a great feeling of what lies ahead
but I allow for there to be doubt
truly only time will tell
whether or not this could ever work out

"time" I say over and over
as if it is embedded in my head
that seems to be the missing piece though
as both of us have said

time allows us to grow a friendship
time helps us to build up trust
time takes a lot of patience
and time also builds up a lot of lust

I tread cautiously
Unsure of what to expect
I’ll admit I’m afraid
Of what could happen next

Pondering whether or not
To let you inside
Afraid to go through
Another emotional ride

You might have realized
There are certain walls built up high
For whatever reasons you have
You seem willing to try

Your smile is warming
Your laugh is contagious
To possibly be vulnerable to you
Requires that I be courageous

The possibility of getting hurt
Is a risk I might just make
I admit you feel worth it though
If that’s the direction we take

Seeking meaningful friendships
Was all I was looking for
Meeting new people
Not expecting anything more

I am in a good place
feeling content on my own
putting myself first
I feel so much I’ve grown

Yet unexpectedly
you caught my eye
I tried looking the other way
that was a mission to try

So many thoughts
as my mind wanders on
people come and go
before you know it they’re gone

you ventured the world
trying to find your place
building homes in others hearts
going at your own pace

you’re in a great place you say
you feel right at home
but are these feelings temporary I ask myself from you being alone?

“It could be a phase” Are my thoughts
given the patterns that I see
perhaps another venture
testing the waters with me

I have no void to fill
needing no one by my side
and im a pretty open book
not very much to hide

If you still decide
That you want to come my way
Be honest and kind is all I ask
Whether or not you stay

Unbearable pain
Something I’ve experienced before
Time and earning trust
Are the keys to these doors

— The End —
