it s a momentary thing

I do not know
if anything ever lasts
would this moment
be a faded memory
in a distant past
only thing i know
this moment
this rush
like the quiet before a storm
makes me feel alive
and i will live it
... every second of it.

For a new friend, even if we don't date

When you approach me
i want you
to make it easy for me
i want you
to know that i get you
i want you
to know that when i don't
i will listen & try to understand

When you are with me
i want you
to be yourself, truly you
i want you
to be free to express your thoughts
feelings dreams everything

At all times
i want you
to be confident that when you are vulnerable
i will not hurt you
i want you
to know that you can take my hand
because it has been extended
i want you
to know that you are welcomed
t0 play in my sand box with me
rain or shine

All because
i want you
to be nearer
i want you
close enough
to hear my heart beat
to know that i am equally
wanting to be the same
with you.
