Doubting
I’m never sure how this waltz proceeds,
Where the steps lead or begin.
I never know how to discover,
If all you want is a friend.
My mind does wander to where you are,
Where I haven’t been in years.
Did you ever miss me darkening your door,
Or did the space abate your fears?
I curse my awkward forward manners.
I would dwell in ease and serenity if I could.
I know not how to reach for you,
And not to be misunderstood.
I want your friendship but do I want more?
I ask my eyes in the mirror glass.
What is coming and what is in store?
I know I cannot pass.
Why must I be such an incompetent flirt?
I brace myself - this might hurt.
