Your arms go around me,
Stopping the shivers,
Soothing my frazzled nerves,
The fear still courses through,
Like an electrical buzz,
An inviting tingle,
A crippling wave,
You try to reassure me,
With your nonsensical words,
Phrases and coos,
I giggle lightly,
And look up,
My giggle fades,
You're smiling at me,
That mysterious, enigmatic smile,
You're the one person I can't read,
The one person I want to know,
The one person who means the world to me,
....And that's the one thing I can't tell you.
Why? You might run away,
In fear, In disgust, In confusion.
I don't want to ruin what we have.
I used to read you like my favorite book,
Reciting over the lines I knew.
Now.... you're like an ancient scripture.
Raising my insatiable curiosity,
But I don't have the key to your words, symbols.
I grin faintly, step out of your arms,
.... And you let me go.
Just like that.
