How About You

This is it
I’m not scared any more
I’m hearing
What you have to say
Hanging on
To every single word
Waiting for
That moment when you say
I’m ready
How about you?

I know
I want to be with you
And you
Want to be with me too
I’m holding
On to this feeling
I have
Deep down inside of me
That’s telling me
We truly will be.

This is it
I’m not scared any more
I’m hearing
What you have to say
Hanging on
To every single word
Waiting for
That moment when you say
I’m ready
How about you?

I don’t know
If you’ll ever be ready
You haven’t 
Told me how you
Truly feel
But I’m pretty sure
It’s coming
Out of you real soon
Just got
To give it some time.

This is it
I’m not scared any more
I’m hearing
What you have to say
Hanging on
To every single word
Waiting for
That moment when you say
I’m ready
How about you?

I’m hearing
Others tell me that it 
Won’t happen
That I’m just a dreamer
And maybe
I really and truly am
But that’s
Sometimes all I have
And all
I need to have

This is it
I’m not scared any more
I’m hearing
What you have to say
Hanging on
To every single word
Waiting for
That moment when you say
I’m ready
How about you?

I’ve dreamt
Of this day coming
And it
Might not be here yet
But I 
Know it will happen
You and I 
Will be together soon
I’ve just
Got to hold on to this feeling

 This is it
I’m not scared any more
I’m hearing
What you have to say
Hanging on
To every single word
Waiting for
That moment when you say
I’m ready
How about you?

After a very super weekend I am back at the soup reading. I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Jacqueline. There are so many diverse writers here and I am so happy I am able to read most of them. Have a wonderful week and may you find what you are looking for in life and in your writing. Love, Carol
