Close Call (Afraid to Risk)

Today,  
I nearly told You  
I wanted You.  
I wanted to be with You  
I wanted to grow anew  
I wanted to be only true  
I wanted. . .to wanting You.......................Whew!  
Close Call.  
 
Near a given days end----we could be----  
And O, how tempting;  
But, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  
TSK, TSK, TSK,  
am I AFRAID TO RISK?  
  
You are not the first and it's not my first time,  
So why did You make me feel so frisky?  
I want to tell You,  
But I feel it's very risky (why?!)!  
  
I try to meet You when I can,  
Impromptu bumps in the night  
O, how I wish You'd understand:  
So infatuated----I took the fall!  
Daring to OPEN UP----  
I didn't do,  
Close Call.  
  
We----  
We could be  
As far as earth can see  
Beyond and beneath the sea  
We could be  
You and me  
  
But for now----  
Close Call.  
  
For now...

Author's Note
Too often this is the child of Love Unrequited
and the extortionist of Fear -- not for me so much now in my elder yrs
