Literary: The Leap of Uncertainty

Many people ask me what it's like to be in love.
Although my mind remains silent, my heart pounds its response.
How long have they been battling each other?
At times, I cannot deny--
Love has found its way into my heart through shared moments of you and I.

More and more, as time flies, my mind feels trapped in an ocean unmoving.
Of all the eyes I could have fallen for, why are yours those I have drowned in?

Keeled over from the weight of my thoughts
And feelings undeciphered
Youth passed by only with playful jokes and friendly greetings--
Admiring you, I could do only with clandestine glances.

Afraid to lose what we have, I dread the uncertainty of tomorrow.
Knowing everything will change if I tell you the truth,
On the tip of my tongue lingers a question my heart yearns to ask...

Many people ask me what it’s like to be in love.
Although I have “You” as the answer, I wonder, would they understand
How do I feel when I’m with you?
At times, I cannot deny—
Love has found its way into my heart through you.

Now as we get closer and closer to each other,
And feelings for you get clearer and clearer, our status is not.

Mulling about when we will talk about us
Admitting our feelings
Having our time wasted waiting for the other to initiate
Admiring you—sorry, I can’t help it.

Losing what we have is something to be scared of but I took the risk and asked,
Knowing that we feel the same for each other.
On the tip of my fingertips, now, feels the hand of the one I love.
