I don’t admit it but

Here I am

for now

Like a little boy

With arrested development

Wandering back to you

Your embrace

Are you laughing at me

I stumble at the sight

Of your beauty

I’m immature

with unrealistic boundaries

You’re too old for me

But beautiful

The looks, the looks

Old Aunt Eve warned me about

I went for the looks

You’re smart and wise

You have money

Lots of it and I don’t.

You travel a lot

A great career

Are we moving to Maui

addicted to dreaming

Where are my boundaries

Your reprimands hurt

You’re self-centered

I compose myself

It’s my infatuation

It’s my insecurity

It’s my not believing

It’s my lack of courage

Even though, I know

This will never work

And is only

Very, very

Temporary

In you’re arms

I found my home

(for now)
