When Baby Steps Speed Up
Our second chance arrives a little faster — A love story/poem
Many years ago, I lost the enjoyment that I could throw at my excuses. Deep down I became glued to the dream of a final breath. When my commitment to excuses fell. I had to let go of the dream that never came true, and it never let me forget, I am left with broken pieces of confidence.
My mind has become too weary for simple change. For far too long I felt like a rumour people had given up talking about. The more I become incomplete the more eager I am to let my trust off the leash.
So, my logic whispers to me, “It is okay to eliminate the other me” Reasons and secrets can unlock the door so I can be free.
Long ago, one last time was all I knew. I was dominated by a life of no distractions. While all my indecisions only remembered that they were old.
Sometimes the truth needs a second chance, to remove the disappointments. I am half alive and I have wasted half my life. The more I am with her the more I feel alive.
I know I should hesitate, but I have waited too long for baby steps. Cautious is out the window for what I wish for. I will be as dumb as my future love poem.
I know my lack of fear in miles from here. I am afraid of what it means to lose control of my emotions. I am afraid of how much she could mean to me.
I want to tell her I struggle to abandon this undeserving feeling, and I am afraid of losing my fear that she comforts with her hands. As she uncages my pieces of confidence with her mystifying ways. I try to hold back but I know I got to have it. I want to fill my eyes with everything I have never seen. I want her to be the one to show me all the, believe it or not, parts.
When I gaze at her beauty, I admire her purity. All the qualities few take the time to see. She is so much more than she imagines. I do not think I have far to go to lose control. I do not know how the story will end, but I know mercy with not be there.
