Decision — Part 2

I hope — hope is not lost - A love poem

I am feeling like a fool inside. I am full of regret for the stupid method I used to show how I feel. I made a mistake with a rushed decision. A mere attempt to hear your adorable laugh, and I received the opposite of desired effect. Though, I am to thankful you did not close your door on me. I stumble over my tongue of lead. Restraining the facts. I am scared, and I have gone past the line of simple attraction.

I have no desire to dismantle your walls. As I am broken too. The pleasure of your company is all I yearn, and to offer you friendship and loyalty in return.

Now, waiting, hoping for hope to hold me up. As the patience brings me to my knees. I can live on my knees for the rest of my life. I can survive on the hope for better days to come. As through these desperate times, I only want you.

Alas, there will be no part 3
