We keep running into one another,

Maybe it’s time,

Time that I swallow my fears and worries,

Time that I confront you for once,

Time that I tell you how I feel,

We see each other all the time and yet I remain silent,

You have such a joy and energy about you I’ve never known,

Even in my lowest of days, you lift me out of my gloom,

I can’t understand how it is you have this effect on me,

Maybe it’s your eyes, with their piercing glance,

Maybe it’s your flowing hair, seemingly sun-streaked,

Maybe it’s just your loving heart that softens my own,

As we band together each few times a week I am unbalanced,

Part of me is content now, part yearns for more,

I try to make logic of the storm of thoughts, the avalanche of feelings,

Is it possible for these dreams to become a reality?

Is it conceivable for things to fall into place on their own?

Is there some way to spark this relationship and start the fire?

A wise person once said the effort has to be made on both sides,

So it is through these words that I start my race,

A race to your heart,

I can only hope that my start encourages your own,

Your smile gives me the courage,

Your gaze charges me up, I am now ready,

When the time comes I hope you will be ready as well,

Let this mark a new chapter in both our lives,

A chapter with you and I together.
