BE MYSELF

BE MYSELF

My mind runs on repeat as I lie here in repose,

Churning out thoughts my heart has chose,

Constant melodies on shuffle of my heart’s playlist,

Wondering what may become of this tryst,

Will I fall elegantly upon my face?

Causing myself to submerge into the depths of disgrace,

Or will I charm with my usual banter and wit?

Even worse, will she remember me as that immature high school twit?

I hope not for life has caused us all to grow,

That I believe she does know,

She knows of my scars and shy arrogance,

Yet she said yes without any hesitance,

I tell myself to speak easy and let it come from the heart,

Because one never knows this could be the beginning of a fresh new start,

I wonder if these same thoughts swim through her pretty head,

I doubt not at this hour though, for I’m sure she’s safely tucked away in bed,

Well, if so I wish her the sweetest of dreams,

While I sit here and answer my own questions it seems,

Funny but I guess the old adage is true,

Just be yourself brad, for she said yes to you.
