Anticipation
My heart wanders like a voyager through the sea
But the rapid waters pull me away from you.
As we began this journey into the unknown
Our hearts were defined by resentment;
I was being used as a puppet at your disposal.
Yet here we are with feelings of undeniable limerence.
Drowning in the depths of our feelings
We fumble through this new experience,
Neither of us knowing how to act.
I figured I would be your dream but maybe I'm a nightmare.
You compare me to others as if my essence can be measured
But it can't.
I am unique.
An individual who would bless your life with optimism and undeniable joy.
Your tendency to establish instant infatuation should not be the way you feel for me.
Those girls don't appreciate the person you are
Nor the person you want to be.
I do.
Why do we let the limits of our friendly relationship inhibit us from flourishing into beauty?
How is it that we are made for each other yet the effort is still too much?
The truth is, I am not going to sit by waiting until you are ready.
I may become lost at sea as you navigate through the treacherous waters
But maybe then you might finally come in search of your hidden treasure.
