The Moonlight
November 02, 1999
I have tried so many times
with a smile, or a little push,
but you are so far ahead of me.
I just cannot ask you to wait anymore.
You are the one I lied to.
am lying to.
How do I know that you
are not like the rest of them?
Cowardly and cruel,
leading yet, leading me to the ledge.
Lead me to the ocean.
Let us sleep on the sand
with the moonlight as our lantern.
I cannot risk it again,
but I will promise you.
I will lead you to the ocean with me,
if only you would ask me to.
My heart would smile.
If you’re scared, I am sorry.
I am too,
more than you know.
Just remember I am there.
I am here.
Lie to me.
I will tell you the truth.
Ask if you can hold my hand,
and everything will be perfectly perfect.
All that you need to do
is hold my hand.
You need not even say a word.
Just put your hand on my waist,
and walk with me.
Be daring and be bold.
Take a chance on me.
Make me blush if you have doubts,
doubts that I feel the same.
Try me anyway.
I will love you all the more,
but you will have to make that first move.
My feet are cemented to the ground I walk.
and my lips are stuck fast together.
Remember this,
my eyes are free.
and they are locked on yours.
