An innocent thought
Provoked by a chance
Of becoming something more
I took a stand
Among those
Unafraid of the unknown
What am I to gain?
What am I to lose?
When I have nothing left
A careless reach
With no repercussions
If I were to pull back
Time continues
As not a single word
Can be heard
My hand closes inward
Fully aware of emotions
All too familiar
But unexpectedly
Like a gust of wind
Your presence is revealed
Staring back
Mirrored with my stance
You reciprocate my gesture
I hesitate
To respond back
Unprepared for your appearance
Honestly
What can be done?
Now that there is no turning back?
Fear consumes me
Terrified of the tiny thought
I decided to act upon
What was I thinking?
Will there be meaning
behind this meeting?
I did not expect much
Yet here I am
Contemplating everything
How much longer
Until you grow tired
Of my existence?
When will come the day
We decide to part
And go our separate ways?
The thoughts alone
Are terrifying
As you gain importance
Although
I will never know
What role I hold
Am I disposable?
Am I forgettable?
A cure for your boredom?
It is only now
I am filled with regret
Of not contemplating sooner
But courage
Is a peculiar
and nearsighted feeling
Thrusting you forward
Before you have a chance
To think no
Mine was small
But strong enough
To make me less of a coward
I've come this far
Only to see
Courage is a double edged sword
