Risking To Love

by Kips2.0   Jul 9, 2016


Wakey, wakey, Sleepy baby!
Look down and read. It's me!
Close your eyes and open them back.
See? I'm still here!
Your eyes, so beautiful,
and your smile, excite me.

Though blessed with many friends yet
few are those with whom my heart
I could freely express;
while some often try to set me straight,
others carefully listen to my heart's voice.

There I find you in the midst of these,
like divine or fate our paths crossed,
mingled,
hearts entwined with one another's,
freedom seems not too far from grasp;
but I fear a day will come when this
distance will break the cord.

You are so complex and intricate,
yet worth the excuses I always give
to justify zoning out
while staying lost in deep thoughts
wondering how we came to be.

I have you now and I know how it feels,
so when that day comes and we wonder
how we were able to last so long,
we will then remember that
we resolved to never give up on each other.

Many things could go wrong,
in fact, I've gone wrong many times,
but making you a special part of my life
has never felt so right. Finally!

Your effort to understand me is undeniable,
though my imperfections are not hidden,
still you see the best in me.
I know too well that no one is perfect,
but then I've learned that always seeing
the best in someone, that's perfection!

This distance kills me all the time,
but as the distance grows yonder
so does our hearts grow fonder.
Although I can't touch you yet I feel you,
because somewhere in the crevices of my heart
I feel the tingle, and
I become vulnerable to the risk it takes to love.
