Will One Be Enough

Can I hope to know just one day with you. I won’t ask for promises. I don’t want to change your life. Only letting you know what you’ve become in my eyes. Yet, knowing I’ll be aching to feel the softness of your skin. Knowing, within minutes, I’ll be mesmerized by your gaze. Wondering what heaven awaits me, should you hold me close. Oh, what dreams may become reality, should I taste your kiss, or feel your heart beat with mine as we lie together. Am I lost in fantasy. Is what I feel now even close to reality. Many times in my mind, I’ve held you close in the darkness, showing that giving a little of your heart won’t always mean tears. Anticipating it. Wondering. Yet, afraid of really having it. Knowing there are no guarantees if it were to happen. Hoping that stability of reason is as sure as I think it is. If you were to grant me the key that unlocks this one wish, would one day of having your heart in my keeping be enough. Should I take what may be one of few chances and ask for the morning, hoping things can remain the same between us. There's a companion piece to this entitled "4CRnCN"Have you ever wanted something you were unsure was wise for you to have at the time? Feeling it was available to you and would most assuredly be reciprocated, but wondering if you had the self control to let reason win out over it’s most formidable opponent, human emotion.
