Now that you know
I chose not to say
I love you-
Now that you know
I am like a baby that
Chose to sit back
Because I couldn't
Risk taking my first step
Only to stumble and fall,
Am I metaphorical
To fear?

Now that you know
I'm like a little bird
That decided to
Rest in mama's nest
Because I felt my
Wings were too heavy
For my first flight,
Am I metaphorical
To lack of faith?

Oh baby, but
How do I take
My first step,
How do I take
My first flight;
How do I say
'I love you too'
When loving you
Feels so much
Like cardiac
Arrest?

But oh, your embrace
Warms my soul so
Much when you stare
Into my eyes
It only ever feels
Like cardiac caress.
