cat got your tongue?
you have been awfully quiet,
absolutely still
like moving would
rock your all too
perfect world and
blow it into smithereens
if you tilt
a little to the left
you think you'd fall over?
you won't, you know?
just breathe in,
exhale softly
stay composed, calm

heart pounding,
ringing in your ears
did i catch you off guard?
you didn't think
i would say it?
didn't know i could
finally do it?
yeah, me too
i thought i'd just
hold it in, leave
everything untouched
i was ready to just
stay silent, stay hidden

i just said
i adore you,
am slowly falling,
can't keep from reeling
called your bluff
a little too soon
i might add
did i shock you?
that's the plan

now what?
i really don't know
but i'm loving the
confusion in your eyes
you don't know what'll happen next?
me neither. . .
now we're even,
isn't that great?
(hehehehe)
