Is it enough?

Is it enough?

Is it enough Enough that you showed your interest With subtle, random and secretive gestures Food for a starving soul Unbelieving of my reciprocating emotions Eager to please but reluctant to take Is that enough? Is it enough Enough that you finally revealed the truth to me With cautious worried and hesitant words You climbed out on the limb With coaxing from me Now I know you want me too Is that enough? Is it enough Enough that we dissected this relationship With clear concise and sterile words Weighed the pros and cons, the risks and glories And agreed it was inevitable heartbreak Without answering “would it be worth it”? Is that enough? It is not enough When I see you by chance When you make me laugh or comfort me when I am angry I want to feel your arms around me then Your breath on my neck, the taste of your mouth I want to show you what you’ve given me I want to tell you it is not enough
