Confess

CONFESS
ONCE you made a move i wasn't scared of 
for i expected you to come running and chasing
that's what men do around me
for I know I am a beauty
 
ONCE I knew you will come to pass
that the chasing will make you weary 
and like any other who has come by, you will let it go
Then you will go for other waters perhaps deeper than these
for every man at sometime gives up

AND it came to pass that I was weary of your asking,
knowing that if I didn't give you a chance you wouldn't give me space
day after day I saw your golden eyes
heard your piano voice and I took in a deep breath 
that day I said yes
for I knew men gave up after a few tastes

BUT it came to pass that you never ran away
that each day you loved me more than I asked for
trapped me in your warm hands and whispered sweet words
making promises yet you lived by them
I was pampered by your grace,
secretly always waiting for your touch
in the crystal  moonlight behind your house
 that where I fell in love with you my love Norlan
