What I Needed to Say v.3

Courage

Her silky sweet eyes
consume my conscious
and there is nothing else

--laugHing
------Eating
---- dRinking

----slEeping
--plaYing
----rEading
-----Sitting

as my courage grows
the distance between us shrinks

twenty------------------------------feet
----------ten----------------------- feet
------------------six----------------feet
--------------------------three----- feet

anxiety pulses through my veins as my
brain ignites and dissolves to a soupy liquid
stomach rolls off a cliff and gravity sends it plummeting
legs that brought me here crumble beneath me

my body shuts down until
all I can do is look into
her silky sweet eyes

and say those
three little words
I had been meaning to say all along

What’s your name?
