I am at a loss of words, no, courage.
You capture me with your gaze,
 round brown eyes
 feel like they see my
 soul.
 Do mine make you as curious
 as yours make me?
 
 I imagine us talking.
 I'm witty and unafraid.
 You laugh at my jokes, and
 your laughter brings a smile to my lips.
 
 I imagine us together,
 lips locked, my hands through your short hair,
 my hands all over you.
 Smothering
 the fire that
 never dies.
 That eternal flame that ignites
 when he talk
 when our bodies touch
    even the slightest whisp of a 
 fingertip,
    and the flame bursts out
 of it's confinement;
 filling the air with it's potent,
 lusty smell.
 Your smell.
 
 I imagine much
 but never act. Why?
 For fear of regection?
 The opposite?
 Enough imagination!
 Enough make-believe conversations filling my head!
 I'm through with all this
 talk of "if" and "maybe".
 Come World! Take me on!
 Me
 against all of
 you.
 
    The only problem is
 
  I don't have the
 
 
 
 
 courage.
