And alas! I see you.
Walking in the room
A slight frown in your brow
Says that you're anxious
Looking for me
Coz you haven't laid
Your eyes
On me yet
In the flesh.
A few years worth of conversations
A lifetime worth of confessions
And more.
All on the bright screen
Late at night, under our sheets
And we are more
More that what we know
Or are we?
My heart is wary
Of impending disappointment
Heavier than it should be
More skeptic than I'd like
Afraid of losing you
Before I wholly know you.
...and for a moment
I think of slipping away.
Unnoticed.
Unbothered.
Cutting off all my ties.
Dropping all I have
Ruining all that I've got
You.
Fill your head
With all those doubts
All those questions
About us
Till I'm dead
With the guilt I'll be carrying
Till you die
From the inside.
"Will I ever be enough?"
My demons push me off that chair
As they taunt me
And make me weak on my knees
My head's all clouded with my fears
My palms tremble with anticipation
Of that tragic power of kamikaze
Of the disaster that I could unleash
On you, on me
On the fragility that is us.
And I want to give in
I could.
But there I am,
Rooted to my seat
When our eyes meet.
A slight unsureity
Behind those warm brown orbs
And all the fears begin fading
All the insecurities in the world
Don't feel like much anymore.
And there it was.
A slight calm
Within my chaos.
A little forever
In our miniscule moment
That instant
Where time ceases to exist
And nothing else matters
But you
And me
And our beating hearts.
And as you stride purposefully
Towards my table
Beaming like you've found Nirvana
Roll down your sleeve
And sit down with that, "Wassup?"
I find myself smile
About how familiar it all felt
Because maybe,
Maybe I've found mine.
