"im afraid i won't find the one who sees me
and rushes to breathe me in
i have a fear of seeming too desperate
i'm scared i will be cheated on
with a woman more brilliant
more striking
more of me in every way
terrified this will confirm what i know already
that i am not enough for someone to stay
where is the burning match that will set me on fire
what if i've already walked by the one
on a street corner
what if i've already been with them
and ruined it
who will love me enough to
spend their energy getting close
to someone so inconsistent
what if the one i want
is someone who touches me and leaves
and the one who doesn't leave
is someone i can't stand touching me
will it always be bad timing
will i ever be sure
will i settle
will i be on my own forever"Newt
