Refusal

I refuse to look you in
The eye. I refuse to 
Let my feelings run wild.

Your slender hands and
Gleaming face.
Tiny feet and the way you
Sway when you walk...

I refuse to conjure the
Moon. I refuse to 
Soak my fantasies in 
The blue sky.

I like listening to you.
I like talking to you...

But somehow I refuse
To use the other four
Lettered word for the 
Things I adore in you.

Don't know why falling 
In love with you feels
Like a crime.

Don't know why I think 
Your name would hesitate 
To sit beside mine.

I don't know what 
Holds me back. 
Believe me I've even 
Deliberately tried.

My hesitation to answer 
The question you're.
The mystery you've become 
That I refuse to solve..

Thrusting words to this
Feeling feels like a crime.
Yet you fleet in every 
Act of mine.

I refuse to look you in
The eye. I refuse to 
Let my feelings run wild.
