Do I Dare?

Do I dare to dream
that this is reality
that you are mine
as I am yours
that I will not wake
from the perfect slumber
of dreams?
Do I dare to believe
that you mean
as you say?
Do I dare take the risk
my heart on the line
waiting to be
shattered
once again?
Do I dare to give my heart away
to a boy
who's eyes
take my breath away
who's kiss
quickens my heart
almost painfully?
Yes
I do dare
all of these things
because I have
fallen
and been weakened
by love
and trust
Do you dare
love an imperfection?
