Pursuit

If I follow my instincts I see a glimmer of hope, 
I would like to but my fears consume me, 
What if we never elope? 
What if there will never be a we? 

Questions plague my mind of negative possibilities
Rendering my brain to act precise and rational, 
Your glance renders my brain to be as chaotic as the seas,
Days I just wish these feelings are intentional

I love you and I don't want to lose you, 
Make me your thrall I'll gladly accept, 
Stab me with rejection as it's been long overdue
Now that I have told you every secret I've ever kept.
