Reflections of My Perceptions
expectations...
I am well aware that within you my words have awoken dormant sensations
but i must wonder, can i now live up to your expectations?
were we to meet our joining would be darkened by the shadow of anticipation
for you would see all of my faults, not only my soul's aspirations
you would witness my nervousness as well as my brow's profuse perspiration
and hear my voice's uncertainty as it struggles to say something
were you to reach out for my hand you would find it quivering and shaking
no matter how often you tell me yours is there for the taking
you would be unable to sleep due to the sound of my heart's thumping and racing
you would see my eye's constant blinking whenever we are facing
you will find that i am only a man, not the dream you have long been chasing
for the person you are looking for is merely a poetic creation
but i hope that all along you do not believe that I have been deceiving, faking
nor that these words are mere figments of your imagination
it is simply to let you know that should there come a day when we are embracing
i am still merely a man, and at times i will try your patience
but i must wonder, can i now live up to your expectations?
were we to meet our joining would be darkened by the shadow of anticipation
for you would see all of my faults, not only my soul's aspirations
you would witness my nervousness as well as my brow's profuse perspiration
and hear my voice's uncertainty as it struggles to say something
were you to reach out for my hand you would find it quivering and shaking
no matter how often you tell me yours is there for the taking
you would be unable to sleep due to the sound of my heart's thumping and racing
you would see my eye's constant blinking whenever we are facing
you will find that i am only a man, not the dream you have long been chasing
for the person you are looking for is merely a poetic creation
but i hope that all along you do not believe that I have been deceiving, faking
nor that these words are mere figments of your imagination
it is simply to let you know that should there come a day when we are embracing
i am still merely a man, and at times i will try your patience
