My Plea To You

by Megan Aries - Not entered

I want to walk up to you and tell you that I
think I could love you. Tremors run through my
body when you stand too close to me. I need to warn
you that if I touch you, I might not ever be able 
to let go. Is that okay with you? Will you welcome
me into you? Tell me...

Would you be offened if I held your hand?
I can't tell if you want me to or not. What would
you say if I asked you out for coffee, or a beer?
Would you tell me that you are spoken for, even
if you're not? Scary isn't it? When you want something
so bad, but you don't know how to ask for it.
Rejection isn't my strongest suit.

I wish I had the balls to give you this poem.
I wish I could tell you the truth of me. I'm scared.
I want to fall in love with you. I think that would make
you uncomfortable. Would that make you like me any less?
Could we go back to normal if you don't want me?
C'mon Love, I owe you a drink.

It's cold in here. I think you saw me look
at you and turned on the air to cool me off.
How I want to do anything and everything 
to you. To make you scream my name sounds
like heaven to me. I can hear it now. You,
breathless with ecstasy, me, flushed with
happiness. Come and show me you.

I want to stop you as we are walking out to the
parking lot, and tell you about this poem, that the
subject is you. Your hair, your eyes, that smile.
Will you ever know that I think about you? In
my car I imagine that you're next to me, fiddling
with the C.D. player, asking me if you can turn
on the A.C. Tomorrow this will be yours. 
As one day I will be.

Reason for writing:

    I really want this guy at work, I know its a change for me,
but I haven't had a crush in so long. Enjoy!
