Inside Out

This is love I swear
None like her anywhere
But I found her here

so long a time now I’ve been in the hiding
Cushioning myself from love
Harbouring it deep down
Responding not to any of its calling
Inside me I feel this crave
Shoving it I thought was best
Though it tingled for me to burst
All this time I’ve been standing on the edge
Below I knew was a beauty worth beholding
Elusive as it seemed scared me most
Liable to hurt, I decided to take my chances


as I stood in silence, in admiration of what you are
watching from afar yet close
I started to fall
the feeling from the start was frightening
but as the whisper grew stronger I felt exuberant
I had always wished for this day
