I am too scared.
I would rather
almost have you
than ever lose you.
And then a small voice says,
“what if we chose to make it work.”
And a louder voice says,
“it shouldn’t be this hard.”
Someone in the back shouts,
“you’ll never know what he wants!”
And I turn to it and say,
“he would tell me if I asked.”
And for a minute there,
I almost believed me.
