My love for you grows
Like a great kudzu vine
Unchecked by space
Unhindered by time

My mind never stops
The wheels ever turning
My heart and my soul
Are for you always yearning

The insecurity I feel
Is something quite new
I've bared my soul to none
As I've bared it to you

Everything that you say
Everything that you do
weighs on my mind
I don't know what to do

Are you still holding back
Do you still have reservation
Should I express myself more
Should I show my elation

It would help if I knew
what's going on in your mind
I don't expect all at once
Just a bit at a time

Hold on, it gets better than you know....

It's been a while since I've noticed your user name on the screen.  I'm glad I saw this.   Your writing conveyed feelings and questions that are known to many.  I enjoyed your well written poem.  It had a gentle flow to it.   Thanks for posting.
