scared

i found this while i was at home. and i thought it was worthy. i have been meaning to type it up on here. i have no idea when i wrote this, nor for that matter who it was about. but i read this, closed my eyes, and realized that most of can relate to this situation at one time or another in our lives. 

that one time when you are awake. and the person next to you was asleep. you just want to reach out and touch them. but you are afraid. you dont want to wake that person. and if they do wake up, what will they think.....can anyone else relate?

lying next to you

i want to reach out

touch you

im scared

im wide awake

you 

asleep 

by my side

next to me

in my territory

my hands

on your chest

my arm 

on top of yours

i cannot do it

my hand 

wrapped up 

in your fingers

a simple squeeze

i hope you can 

feel it

i wish 

i could

do it

easily

without thinking

i reach out

pull back

once more

still cannot do it

go to sleep 

angry

with myself

still scared

will you ever know
