My thoughts fill with words
I'm afraid to speak,
So in my confusion,
My lips touch your cheek.
You smile at me
And I feel your youth.
You seem so mature,
But is it the truth?
And if I would give
Myself to you,
Thus yielding my body
As others do,
Would you again
Be here with me?
Each time I looked,
What would I then see?
I'm living a life
Now safe and secure,
Afraid to dare,
Though fully mature.
One moment of choosing
To take a chance
Could alter my life
Forever -- one glance
From YOUR smiling eyes
Could tip the balance --
The love of a lifetime,
Or only a dalliance.
Would you again
Be here with me?
Each time I looked,
What would I then see?
