Carefully looking over
Sudden movement may disturb
In a sea of possibilities
Looking for a right response
Not ready to come closer
Not ready to stay far
Trying to start a conversation
Prevented by my own thoughts
Observing shadows
A glimpse of smiling
Forcing to retreat, being able to succeed
Entails acceptance of defeat
Numb fish in a pond
Underneath cascades
Of thoughts between you and me
I am torn by the friction
In the torrent I can’t defeat
Chances are it’s possible
For two people to feel the same
But even if we both want to
The self is full of shame
Am I ready to trust blindly
Ready to give away
A side of me I think so ugly
For a stranger to leave a trace
Cascades floating
Out of my heart
Into my veins
Out of my eyes
Directed to you
No way of knowing
Whether you like
Or you detest
What my tongue and lips
Are afraid to say
I want to lose myself for you
I don't want to lose myself in you
I'm aware I’ll lose myself to you
I'm afraid to give myself to you
