Falling
by on February 10, 2000 in Poetry

I think that I know
What I’ve yet to admit
My thoughts have been
Lingering on you
And in the past I’ve been hurt
But I keep coming back
It’s clear that’s what
I want to do
I love the way that
You can make me laugh
Always smiling
In your company
And when I leave in the night
I hate doubting what’s right
Act nonchalant hoping that
You won’t see
That I’m happy
When I’m with you
On me you’ve got
Some kind of hold
I get other things going
To shield you from knowing
That on you
I’m pretty much sold
Has too much time passed?
Did we take things to fast?
Can we break patterns
That we’ve already set?
If I keep holding on
Will what’s weak now grow strong?
I don’t want to look back
And regret
That I didn’t try
Or stop trying to hide
That I see you
As more than my friend
But no time is good
To risk what I should
Afraid to push it
I don’t want to end
What we’ve got going
When there’s no way of knowing
If you sometimes
Think of me too
You don’t have to say much
I grow weak to your touch
Just tell me
What I mean to you
