Lost Potential
Rounding corners I hear my name
And soon enough I see your face
Interests for you pursued at appeal
While I'm apprehensive & new to this ordeal
Confident and odd, a mystery man
I smile: a spark, my attention grabbed
Flirtatious, innocent, dashing eyes
Naive, I fall for my demise
A turning point in my life
My ignorance guides me in shallow light
Charisma, intelligence..& something bizarre
Relentless, you lead me into the dark
Impulsive, quick, without much thought
Mystery allured me, despite the cost
Confused, I dissect time after time
Never to understand and wrap my mind
Distraught and allured all in the same
Something about you made me insane
Time goes on, ups and downs
Driven by words only spoken aloud
Abnormal, I knew this couldn't be right
Naivety follows no matter the bite
No matter the angle I tried to take
My eyes saw nothing but a blank slate
Vulnerability once let down
Hurt and confused, since then not allowed
Patches with you and patches without
Always returning, now with doubts
Each time is different, in mostly good ways
Impelled to reach you through a thick haze
The chemistry is right, it's felt and known
But faults still arise and struggles are prone
Giving up is one thing I struggle to do
Hoping and striving for a better me and you
As we continue to mature and better ourselves
Levels of intimacy and growth impel
They always say your first is different than the rest
Different & extraordinary, I do attest
At this point I question where we'll end up
Years from now, if regret will erupt
I think about what it'd be like if we were to be
Bound on another level of intimacy
Feeling misunderstood, but not only by you
Comfort is a rarity I have with few
Sometimes I wonder if I'm wasting my time
Or if this is exactly what I need in my life
It's been around 4 years since we first met
Somehow still tied up & making attempts
An effortless love with complicated roots
Inner struggles built up, a trying refute
Taking it day by day, we'll figure this out
What's meant to be will be without any doubt
Until then, right now you are all mine
And nothing makes me happier than any other find
If it's possible & we do make it through
A love few experience could exist for me and you
Deeper than an abyss, high above the Earth
All existing love, above all knowing worth
Give me your all and I will show you my world
A spectrum of feelings to express & to be heard
Few times said, I really do want you
Growing stronger and stronger the more we pursue
Afraid to be vulnerable, but it's a must
Afraid of you breaking me & ruining my trust
Fear will never allow for the connection we need
Show me your true self and be vulnerable for me
I love you, I want you
Please reciprocate...
Today, tomorrow, and the rest of all days
