( For Z surely… and  Y and X)

I tone down

my smile.

Control

the warmth in my voice.

Command

my eyes not to linger on your face.

Turn down

the volume of my heartbeat

Swallow

my words.

Hold back

arms that want to touch you.

Hide

my excitement when you call.

Cos I’m not sure

How you feel bout me.

And at my ripe old age

How  can I allow  the cool woman

Façade

To drop?

What if you think I’m “depserate”?

What if you think I’m a slut”?

What if you think I’m “after marriage”?

I’m not any of these things.

No

Its too frightening.

I’ve struggled to even admit to myself

that I like you

I’m attracted to you,

Enjoy talking to you

Want to get to know you better.

Ok I admit this much,

but how can I let you in on  all this

I must reach for the “mouse” and

CUT and DELETE.

But  that’s easier said than done.

I’m dying to know

are you doing the same thing

as me?
