The Falling

Oh, I saw her again.
In my dreams, she came to me
and we rode a thousand white horses.
I smothered her in every way
a man knows how.

In my waking hours,
I see her in the flesh.
My heart flutters:
it speaks in morse code.

Waves of anticipated responses:
Will she return my emotions?
Will she thank me, and wish me well?
Will she toy with me,
driving me to a self-imposed hell?

Even if she feels this way,
that moment of release,
that second those three words escape
my longing lips,
(I love you)
I will be in pure heaven.
No more hiding behind pretenses.
No more pauses
in which to tell you how I feel.

Yet, I fear it is too early to express
these desperate sentiments.
