Lucky Words

He says he is so lucky

And when I ask

Why

His reply

-Because you like me

And I

Have found an unlikely

Happiness

In the mess

That I call life

He is right

At the edge of

My outstretched arms

And he warns

That he will indeed

Be

The first one

To take a step forward

And I

Am floored

And simultaneously

Stuck, feet firm on the floor

Mouth open

Tongue tied

Words try to form

Anything but fictions

No lie

Heart quickens

This is

Exactly what I wanted

So then why

Am I

Scared

Bared

By his honest open stare

-I really like you

-I think we’re so good

Together

We take in the silence

While it’s

Still

Fresh

I wet

My lips

To prepare

A little bit of something

Resembling a response

I’m on

A cloud

Something in my head

Screams

Clear

Loud

Now

Say yes

Say that you too want a taste

Of this

Of something

New

Say something

To fill the space

And take

A chance

Be bold

Be brave

And if nothing else

Just say

That you feel the same

That you too

Are going to stay

And all of that fear

Can be dealt with

On some other

Unlucky

Day

Cause he sees

Some kind of truth

In us

Despite my fears

And he endears

To call it

Luck

And it's time 

I think to bring 

Myself to finally 

Trust
