How many a time does my mind wander?

To the prospects of a love such as so,

One that presents itself fully to me,

Yet, with its wind and air, I cannot go.

Irrational fear comes with the offer,

Denial is the best path,

A petal falls,

One that I cannot catch

Never playing the game of do or don't,

But do play the game of love,

His hand I cannot take,

My fear traps mine in my glove.

Impossible to tell another,

Exactly how I feel,

The child that lives within me,

Convinces me it is real.

His words hang in the air,

Like an emotion left untold,

And like a small child who grasps their mother's hand,

I refuse to lose my hold.

Reviews would be extremely nice; I'd like to know what unbiased people think of my writing. Criticism is very welcome; I'm up for improvement in any way possible.
