Dear Sir.

I'm scared to think that this may not work.
I'm scared to even look toward the future.
I'm afraid anything I may try will jinx us.
I'm afraid that someone may try and hurt this.

I don't like to know when you're away,
But I also don't like to know how close you really are.
I hate the feeling I get when you're not here,
But I hate the idea of you 'always' being around.

I wish I had the power to whisper your name,
And you'd come to my safety.
I wish I had the power to wonder,
And I'd know everything.

I wish I had the courage to stand up to you,
That courage I still yet to have.
I wish I had the confidence to truly say what was on my mind,
That confidence would be something I lack.

I wish I could hear your inner thoughts,
Without having to always worry.
I wish I could travel anywhere,
Without needing a guide.

I wish I could say so many things,
Without having that sudden hesitation.
I wish I could say what I feel,
Without that inner shake.

I wish I had a mind full of memories,
Those which I have forgotten.
I with I could be around forever,
Although, you should know I cannot.

Dear sir,
I must tell you though.
I do love you so.

you convey the tentative nature of early times in attachment... it can be full of longings and need for confidence...
