now I decorate your absence as we dance in parallel lines
I question my balance, but some things are better left undefined
I like our conversations and
the way your eyes light up when you talk to me
how safe I feel with you
and when you gave me your jacket so I wouldn’t freeze
I like the feeling of no space between us
how you’ve proven to be someone I can trust
when you ask me questions as you drift off to sleep
how when I’m next to you I still feel at peace
you’ve shown how vulnerable you can be
and that means so much to me
but if you let fear dictate your actions
you’ll end up in a life without any passion
there’s more to life than lust and love
but what’s a life if you’re not loved enough?
I don’t want to rush into things either
so I’ll take a step back and let you be the leader
take your time while I learn patience
we’re both very new to this
I’ll sit here and hug the silence
we might need to try more than once
