I Know

Feedback Please

Two strangers in bed together - trying to fix what was broken.

I know we won't work, but I'm still not ready.

The stupid clock keeps ticking.

The quiet breaks all "maybe."

I know I should accept it, but I'm still not ready.

We walk around in circles - with neither end nor beginning.

I know we should talk, but I'm still not ready.

I know you still love me, but it's not in the way I crave it.

I know I have to be honest, but why am I still not ready?

The feelings turn into service.

The loving turns into being.

I know I've done my work, and it feels like I'm finally ready.
