Prancing Around Words

[MotherMayI]

The words linger
around her lips
prancing around the idea
dancing about the sensation
that the words bring
fearful
of what may come
if the words exit her mouth
She says it in her head
a thousand times a day
but will he ever hear them?
He knows what she is thinking
but she does not know
if it would be alright to speak them
She does not want
to frighten him
to chase him from her
She only wants him
to be near to her
and in her heart
She wants to tell him
she hopes he will feel the same
But she does not speak to him her thoughts
she holds on to those words
keep prancing around them
hoping that he feels the same
