Anxious curious hopeful sad
wrapped like wax paper
around a steady stream
of desperate confused good and bad

Into life a little of everything
but in one moment
seems a bit extreme

Yet this is how you make me feel
and why I speak
all these different languages
at one time

Is it a crime to say
these are symptoms
of a greater feeling?

I will utter it and reveal
my desire to be near you
If I can compose myself
that is

And not show my
nervous frustrated happy goofy
wrapped around this love
