Beginning

Do you hear my words
Beating on your chest?
I'm right outside your door
Afraid to knock
Afraid to say
"Hello"
Wanting to be
Alone
With you in my arms.
So tell me
               Where
Do
        I
                            Begin?
How can I start to show you that I love you?
That I want you to be
A part of my life.
Tell me,
            Where does
Love
                              Begin?
