Prose, poems and deep conversations with myself.

Before You Date

Before you date
Someone else
I want you to know
You're very special to me

Before you fall in love
With someone else
I want to come clean
Or forever hold my peace

Before I regret
Not telling you
Please give me a minute
To compose myself and breathe

I swear this won't take long
Let me just gather
All the courage in the world
My hands shaking
Irregular breathing
I wanted something
More than this
So please, don't date
Someone else
