was easier said than done
one look at you I panicked
even knowing you'd say yes
I feared rejection and to be filled with regret
regret at maybe I'm making all of this up in my mind
maybe you're just bored
A player,
a waste of my time
I thought of every excuse to justify those looks
that smile
that glimmer
That laugh
But my traitorous heart would deny it each time
Racing
knowing every single one of your reactions
was directly linked to mines
hoping I'd be willing to take a chance
Yet, every day I walked away
I didn't know what happiness was,
I was far more scared of it than disappointment
too used to that empty feeling
afraid of letting it go
but every time I heard your voice
I started to feel it less and less
thinking of a future the past me would have dread
still, I woman'ed up
I stood up, waited at the door for you
so I could ask a simple question that my whole existence would be in your answer's wait
you came to me
said the words I practiced for hours in my mind
stole them
I would let you steal from me every day if the outcome was the same as that date
