Can I Walk With You?

Never live in fear
Fighting for the opportunity
To take advantage of all chances
But you

Over analyzing the possibilities
No desire for the drama
Pain
Or deceit
So like most adamant lovers I retreat
Missing out
Taking the loss
Passing up on the better companion
Running away from the better option
Scared
Don't want to admit the possibility
That has me swallowing pride
Succumbing to the phrase "out of sight out of mind"
To help me cope
Ignoring passion for you
Because my life is so
Unpredictable

I don't want to run anymore
We speak through stanzas and phrases so in tune
You seek me
I run from you
Not ready
But
No more of that now
I need your sincerity
I fell victim to manipulation and so I grew weary

Not sure when I could admit
Not sure if I could commit
But I want to
In all my efforts to seek truth
I allowed love's desire to fuel
As  I run from the soul's mate request

I want to walk with you
I am open now
Continue to allow your words to caress my skin
Hugs that bear security
Kisses that reaffirm all that you could not say
Bliss
You surpass all the hype
My truth
So ready now
I ask
Can I walk with you?
