Beginner's Love

I shrink away,

Unable to look you in the eye

Never really knowing why I'm afraid

I've known you for years

Eons maybe, sure feels like it

 

But yet here I am

Under the willow tree

Hiding from you just like I always do

You ask me why and I give you a loose answer

But I don't even know why

 

How can I tell you if I don't know?

Impossible, right?

You know me, though

Know me better than myself

And you know exactly why now

 

You take my hand and hold it over your heart

Pull me back to you

Touch my cheek

And look deep into my eyes

That's the exact thing that I need

 

I feel confidence in me

Something that has never happened before

I kiss you and the answer becomes clear as day

Right in front of me all along

I love you, and you love me too

Trying for something different here. Not really sure how it went. Be cruel! I can take it :)

[Coyote Poetry]

A very nice poem of love. I like the story in the poem and the very good ending. It is good when two people are on the same path and have the same desire. A very good ending to a excellent poem.

this is really sweet. brings to mind two people who have grown up together and whose relationship is shifted because they're older and more mature. i can see the tension, the excitement, and fear of rejection. it's good to take chances. excellent poem.
