To Stop Myself From; Running To You Poem by Mark Heathcote

If I tremble it's for you
If I shiver it's not that I am cold
It's because I ache for you
It's because I long for you
For you to hold me steady.
It's because I can't control
Or hide what I feel for you
Any longer any more than a sail
Switched turned by a changing wind can do.


If I nervously giggle
It's not that I'm giggling at you
It's just that I'm glowing inside
Spending this time by your side
If I avoid looking into your eyes
It's only because I'm afraid
My feelings won't be reciprocated
For you, it's only because
I'm falling in love with you. It's all I can do.

To stop myself from; running to you.
