The Next Step

by Alisa Js

I see you again at my door
like before
and have to admit
this time,
I'm petrified ...

I've been calling
on those nights alone,
I want to love you
completely,
but at times it's hard
to say what I need...

but it would be
others don't matter
they don't exist
other than fragments of something found,
but not around my heart
this desire to have you
in my life,

anywhere we find ourselves
would be heaven, found ...

I'm here for the long haul
better or worse
richer or poorer,
no one comes close
nothing comes near
to your flame within my soul
continual burn...

some may say, pipe dream
others, a fluke,
whatever floats their boat,
no matter, 'cause it's true
there's no one else
I've lived long enough
loved hard enough
for the next step
that ultimate step,
you...

I really like the subdued desperation in this. You've got such a gift for making it come through in every single line.
