i take this deep breath
and it doesn’t matter
because no matter
how long i’ve known you
i still get that feeling
deep down. it starts
in my stomach and
heads to my chest
and ends up.. oh.
another deep breath
and start again and
rarely can i tell you
exactly what it is
that i want, that i
need, i need, but i
know you. not well
enough, but just
enough to get by
and i know eventually
you’ll arrive at it when
you’re ready, or do i step
on through? do i take
charge and hold your
hands (above your head)
and just take what i want?
oh just breathe breathe.
