Off to Jump Into the Unknown

I was off
Thinking about the ways our minds could intertwine
While not getting ahead of the starting line
The beginning is wonderful but...
I fear hesitance more
Than missing a step in the dark
Am I allowed to think that far

Ahead?
Or am I messing with my emotions
Setting myself
Up?
It's hard to be articulate
When your mind is racing
And you haven't felt
This way in forever
And as the ebbs are flowing,
Weaving and tangling my mind further
I am London during winter
But you bring Spring out of me
I know it's boring to talk about the weather
But I feel like flowers are growing inside of me
Your words carefully let them reside in me
The beginning is lovely but...
I fear rejection more than
The feeling of missing a step in the dark
Am I allowed to think that far
Ahead, there's a path but the darkness surrounds me
Inching, scratching at the surface, biding it's time
Waiting to engulf me
Yet the flowers are still blooming
And I'm still beaming
The fear is there as it always is
Yet you make me want to jump
Into the unknown
And out of my comfort zone

But maybe you're right
Should I not think that far ahead?
