I Will

I will
[will I?]
text you forever.
I never
Thought that
Proximity
[Distance]
could have distance
away from me
Should I be
Daring
[daring?]
Daring,
Challenge time to time the moment
I need a moment
I need a minute of bravery to
Challenge fear and fear after the mathematics of admitting
Emotion.
Admitting the notion
of butterflies in motion
In my stomach is repercussion
of flight of feeling.
Fear then running.
Running.
I don’t run that well, it seems.
I might
[but won’t]
return to the nest
find a corner of your life
And hide.
[Or wait?
How can you tell the difference?]
In solitary atmosphere, disperse
All emotion
Throw away the notion
of butterflies in motion
In my stomach the repercussion
of flight of feeling.
Fear then running.
Running.
I won’t run that well, it seems.
The fear is stronger
Time in space is longer
Do I linger?
[I know I linger]
Around you.
By God, I found you
When you found a future
I cannot butcher the fabric of promise,
I promise.
[But quote it]
For I might maybe drown in
Emotion
Rediscover the notion
of butterflies in motion
In my stomach the repercussion
Is longing and a sunny day.
Responsibilities and follies
Of ignoring them for the sake of worry and meditation
Of you I’ve been thinking
Of you I’ve been moving
With you, in mind.

[Breathe, dammit]
Deep Breath.
[Breathe, again]
Deeper Breath.
Deeper breath.
Done.

Now what?
