184. What Are We?

I wonder what hurt you to the point

That sincerity makes you withdraw

Doing my best to not disappoint

It scares you that I offer my all

I touch your cheek with a gentle touch

For now, I know I can’t offer much

Be patient, stick with me for a bit

I hope, I’m begging you to commit

Looking on, I began to shed those tears

As I knew, deep down, that my darkest fears

Were becoming a sad reality

I hoped we would achieve stability

I can tell by the twinkle in your eye

That you can tell I’m the exception

I’m awkward & sweet, not your random guy

You know I consider you pure perfection

I mean what I say, I don’t hide with lies

You feel overwhelmed by my affections

My transparency isn’t a disguise

Your fears win as I’m met with rejection

I don’t wanna ask but I feel I have to

What are we? Where is this headed?

Are there others or is it just us two?

We’re ending just exactly like I dreaded
