Worries

After months of nothing but teasing each other
I'm finally brave and ask it.
Now I worry.
I thought we would be closer,
phone conversations - just not the same,
paranoia takes over.
I don't want to be your ex,
nor you mine,
but it feels like we both need to be led,
into sometning that should seem so natural.
Maybe I take this all too seriously,
and drive away those i like.
But with the impending time limit,
I want to make the most of 'us'.
So please understand what I'm saying
and I know this will work out.
