Lovers Perhaps

Now that she's gone and I reach for someone new
I can only hope for the best as I reach my arms out to you.
How could I not enjoy this tender embrace
as our lips touch together
so warm and tenderly placed.
I want you and I need you
my thoughts race with the time.
Can I trust you and will I do
my feelings echo in rhyme.
I feel uncertain for sure
if not wantonly wanting perhaps
and always hoping for the spark of Love
to fall into our laps.
Whatever feelings may come into play
my heart will reach out and caress
in hopes they may endure forever
and never forget your tenderness.
If my desire for Love is all just a dream
a fantasy not truly meant to be
well we will be friends for sure it seems
or lovers perhaps, yes, that would work for me.

Tenderly honest James....the biggest point that I took from this is taking what is offered and not turining it into something else...very wise advice.  Great writing~

James, this a very soft and wanting poem.  Every looks for what you are looking for.  You expressed your search for this person wonderfully.  I am once again in awe of the expression of emotions.

Tender,open and honest.  Well done James.  None of us really know where a relationship
will go when we enter into it but honesty is
the key and you have captured it well.
