• Finally you asked
    it took you long enough

    You held my hand,
    you hugged me close,
    you kissed my cheek,
    you defended me when I needed it
    You listened to me when I needed to be heard
    you told me it would be all right
    even if I knew it wouldn't be.

    But then it changed,
    and I started to get scared

    You stayed too close,
    You hugged too tight
    You stayed too long
    You listened too much
    You forced my first kiss on me
    though I wasn't ready.

    Now what do I do?

    I'm scared to let any one close again,
    scared to be hurt again
    Yes, I broke it off
    but it still hurt
    You have your distractions
    You moved on fast enough

    But I'm still here
    Wishing arms would hold me
    that lips would touch my cheek,
    my lips
    Wondering what do I do now?
