I
With eyes soft and gentle caring,
And tenderness swelling
(wish you could have seen),
The word slipped out truly.
You knew of them, I knew of them.
They are ultimate and free
Like none you will ever know.
That in the sweetest future I fear
Like none I will ever know.
I gave them anyway, they are yours.
Take them for what they are – simple.

Friendship given in earnest,
I know full well the chance I take in giving;
Of losing the chance at Fate,
And never moving past and into more.
But this I want of late; to see
You simply grow and understand, living
And being happy, knowing who you are.

II
I take each day on the breathe of mornings
Cool and sweet. Life brings me challenges
Hard to meet. I laugh, shake my head.

III
Delve deep for truth, give it to me
Like the sweetest scents. In honesty
I believe and it’s why in you I hold my trust.

IV
How to proceed – or do I – elsewhere not with you.
That is the quandary I now face. I want no decision soon.
