you say to just let it happen…
but how can I knowingly jump,
off my cliff and into the wild
just so I’ll be open to your love.
you say to let it be,
to let time do it’s trick
and soon, we’ll see…
you say to stop trying so hard,
to prevent the pieces of this puzzle,
from coming apart.
you say that that all I need to do,
is to believe in me,
as I decide if what I want is really you.
you say that if what I say I feel is really true,
I can make it real by just thinking of me with you.
you say all these
and when you say them,I admit, they really do ring true,
but how can I change
who I’ve been my entire life,
just because I’ve finally met you?
where do I go from here, what is it I should do?
tell me, does a zebra change her stripes,
just because suddenly, her silly heart
desires something checkered, something new?
