Poem - I think I'm Ready

When I lock eyes with you, I think I’m ready,
Remember back when we mentioned steady.
But the words are waiting on the brink of my mind,
If we keep on dating it'll start to get frustrating.

Hey, I think I...
Have something I want to say.
I want to wait for a good day or a time you'll meet me halfway,
Fine, ok, my friends are right I’ll just say goodnight and hold it in.

Every time we bring it up, I fall upon a scapegoat,
The words stay trapped in my throat.
“No worries, let's talk later”
You’ve always had the casting vote.
I’m just a collaborator in your work of art.
Deep in my wounded heart I’m scared
That I’ll look stupid having declared all I feel
You know what compared to never admitting and trying to conceal,
I’d rather just tell you how I feel.

Hey, I have something I want to say,
No, it can’t delay any more.
The sky is magical and hard to ignore.
Deciding the good will outweigh any outcome therefore;
This night with the stars above you,
It's time for me to say I love you.
