Sitting On the Porch

By Andrea Tadpole

Sitting on the porch
Throbbing with desire
Heart pounding
Wanting you so bad

Mind racing madly
Searching for a clue
As to why
You don't see me

Did I come on too fast
Push too hard
Open up too much

Not trying to grab you
Don't want to cling
Just want to experience
The moment
The now
With you

Is that wrong
Too much
Too soon
Too fast
What

I don't understand
Come here
Go away
You pull me close
Then push me away

I want to stay
Close to you
In your arms
Just for today

The future is uncertain
All that exists is now
If we hesitate
It's lost forever
Far beyond our grasp

Nothing lasts but this second
Please don't throw it all away
By letting fear get in the way

Maybe if we jump together
The fall
Won't hurt at all
