Say these words aloud?

Never would I dare.

I closed my eyes

imagining that you were standing there.

I wrote down words of passion

and words that set me free.

I hoped for what could happen

though we could never be.

But on my notebook pages

I am free to roam.

You are here with me

and I am not alone.

I feel you take my hand 

and hold it ever tight

In my world of poetry 

there is no wrong or right.

And with this newfound freedom 

I take your hand in mine.

I get a kind of courage

and leave the past behind.

If I may never touch you 

or see your face again,

my love has no conditions 

when I pick up the pen.
