Terrified

Whoosh!
There it went.
Another chance.
Another perfect moment
when I could have told you how I felt.

How many times have I let moments like these go by?
How many times haveI stopped myself from saying what I feel?
I'm terrified.
I'm terrified that one of these days i'll let it out, and tell you how i feel about you.
And you will reveal how you feel about me...and i'll be devastated.
I'm terrified that one of these days all my chances will be gone.
No more perfect moments...and I'll have to live with hating myself for never
taking that leap...
...never closing my eyes and trusting my heart.
I'll have to live with all the shoulda, coulda, woulda's and wonder...
...'what would it have been like?'.
Would it have been a fairy tale?
Would you have looked into my eyes with a love
deeper than the ocean, stronger than the the toughest diamond,
and as lastingas the universe?
Would you have taken me into your arms, ravaged my lips, and professed your desire?
Or would you have given me a blank embarrased look,
and uncomfortably shifted your feet for lack of anything nice to say?
Would you havelaughed at me, and thought me immature in my words, actions and desires?
Would you have taken pleasure in your ungodly power over me,
and crushed my heart as hard as you possible could under your heal?
I don't know what would happen...
...and that terrifies me.

In the meantime...
Whoosh!
There it went.
Another perfect moment
Please God...don't let it be the last.
