hugs

by

Laramie Lee Roecker

Here is something for you,
And only your eyes,
Revealing, at last,
My hidden guise.

I must confess my feelings now,
For it is you I hold so dear.
But with this love that I hold for you,
Resides an everlasting fear.

A fear that this feeling is in vain.
Or is it something else?
Is there something wrong with me--
Am I caught in one of your spells?

I feel this urge to hug you
From my heart so deep within.
But at the same time I'm sure
That this love is also my worst sin.

I'm left wondering if there's anything
I can say or do to make you understand
That if there's one person for you,
I'm def'nitely that man!

However, I think we both know
That these feelings are premature,
And that we must get to know each other better
If we are to find out for sure.

So let's sit back and think about it
For now and for awhile.
But rest assured that misguided or not,
These feelings are not in guile.

I leave you now with all my love
To ponder out this verse.
But truth be known, I care for you--
For better or for worse.
