Soft Close

We have a crush to avoid the rush
of being in love with a stranger.
like we always do
out of the blue
and into the light from the dark.

I will not deny her appeal
and intent to reveal
a larger world to me
and allow me to be
myself.

The promise is just, the cause be true
this mutual smile and smirk, between me and you.
never thought I'd be here
seem so lucky to be here
with your dark eyes, staring for the millionth time
you close me, and I hold you close to me.
