Why I Do What I Do (Free verse) by TLRufener
You ask me why
I like to hold your hand
I have to think if I should tell you
Just exactly where I stand
I pause a little bit
To find the right words to say
I must choose carefully
So I donât scare you away
I tell you that I like it
And that I like you
This is just the beginning
Of why I do what I do
There is more underneath the surface
Things that I cannot yet say
I like you far too much
To say what I really wish to say
You say you canât do this
That you donât want to date a friend
Because they never seem to work out
And everything is bad in the end
I understand the reasoning
And that is a fear of mine too
But the biggest fear I have
Is my fear of loosing you
Instead of diving forward
And confessing how much I like you
I will hold back my feelings
Until you feel this way too
I have liked you since we met
Such a long time ago
And I now know that no matter what
I will never be able to let go
I wish I could tell you
Every feeling that I hold
But that would be way out of step
And quite a bit too bold
I wish we could be more than friends
But since youâre not ready to
I will hold onto all my love
And wait patiently forever for you
