Kara Mclain Poet Free verse

Hopeful Reality

And when I find that someone 
Whether they be masculine, feminine,
Or caught somewhere in between 
I want our love to be seen
As just that.
 	Love.

Not something to be examined
Poked and processed 
Peered at by scientists.

And I hope that everything 
That I have seen played out
In the cinema of my memory 
Does not discourage me
From having the courage 
To love them fully.

Because that is the thing
That truly terrifies me.
Believing that this person 
Can want me for the rest of eternity.

Selflessly handing me the keys
To their heart's hopes and dreams 
Fears and humiliations
Like I am the only one 
Who can fulfill them
Fix them
Replace them
With thoughts greater than 
What they could imagine.

And the only thought 
That is more terrifying 
Then all of this happening 
Is never getting a chance to live it.

So don't you dare 
Take it away from me
Before it even has a chance to become
           Reality.
