How do I

Tell you that I want you

without being bold.

Tell you that I miss you,

without seeking control.

How do I forget that I met you

when the mind won't let go.

Pretend I don't like you

after you've awakened my soul.

I met a man

who touched my heart

and knocked down a wall,

stimulated me mentally

but the physical took control.

I'm speaking from the heart,

no barriers no walls.

While letting my thoughts,

run free at all costs.

I came on too strong,

and pushed you away.

How do I

fix my mistake,

at the end of the day.
