Dread

I sit next to you
And watch this stupid movie
Yet it’s not that bad at all
Because I’m with you

While sitting here
I look at you
And all I want
Is to hold your hand

When I find your eye
It holds my gaze
I see my heart
And then it stops

All I ever wanted
Sitting next to me
And I don’t have the courage
To say it to your face

Fear of rejection
Fear of laughter
I don’t want to loose
Our lasting friendship

But every time I read
Another of your poems
And every time I hear
Your sweet sounding voice

Deep brown eyes
As I look into them
I fall further into love
And now I want to burst

I still dread the day
I look you in the eyes
To tell you that my heart
Is full when you’re around
