Ya’ll bear with me now, gotta get this out
I hadn’t seen him in awhile.
I was nervous.
How is my hair? Anything in my teeth? Is that a pimple?
I wanted to say everything and nothing all at once.
Boldly declaring I like you but I’m afraid…
But I was living in my head; second guessing my fabulous.
Thinking about him, thinking about me, and was it good…
I have to admit I have stayed away.
Afraid of what may or may not be.
Will he or won’t he…
My mind creating my own purgatory
Seven being the years I have known him and that of completion.
Should it not be in the stars, then so be it.
It’s time to know.
