I
I do not want to fall in love
But crawl into it sweetly
And with decisive measure.
And yet my crush is becoming
More than unassuming.

II
Tired the day fades
In dapple grays,
Sunshine streaming.
I want
I desire
I need
Selfishly
For I do not truly need.
Never having what I want
Nor the nerve to ask or
Pursue, I marvel
At the newness of
Untried emotions.
