I hear it when you talk
I feel it in every smile
This is real but just maybe
I’ll have to double-check if maybe I am lust

For if I choose to act
I’ll definitely give my best
If I choose not to
I’ll definitely never rest

So tell me today or give me a sign
Lie to my face, but do it in time
Take a little portion and save me my heart
So I’ll learn eventually, to give it to another

Or walk me through us
Leading with just enough femininity
To give my manhood a chance
At love that knows trueness of heart

The Truth? I’ll wait
The Truth? I might loose
The Gamble? You’ll wait
The fact? I don’t know

I’ve walked this path before
Played around whilst cupid stood aloof
Biding my time with thoughts of ‘one day’
Till one day I lost my chance forever

There is no intent to trap you
Nor is there a clause to fault you
This is me saying I would want to
Knowing I still have a lot of preparations to make

So here I am, this simple me
Planning to take an early bride
Choosing to grow love rightly
Making a decision few easily make

Here I am with arms stretched out
Here I stand choosing to fight
With hopes to lose only to you
because it will be a victory in disguise

I know it’s not my life
I know I have no right
It doesn’t have to happen
But if it did, I make ‘us’ worth your ‘life’

yours truly @klynic
