Poem: Speculation

Speculation

Can't assume, have to wait
Gotta play it cool
Keep it undercover
Don't wanna be a fool

Don't wanna take a miss step
Don't want to lose a friend
But if I come forward
That's what may happen in the end

I have no clue
Not even a sign
Maybe I'm making this up
Maybe its all in my mind

I walk a dangerous line
Maybe a line I shouldn't cross
But its eating inside of me
Can I take the loss?

I enjoy the conversation
The mental stimulation
I just wonder could it be
Could there be interest in me?

I doubt I'm the type
Probably out of my reach
Maybe I should leave it alone
May not be for me

But isn't it nothing ventured
Nothing gained?
But can I take the loss
Can I handle that pain?

Its tearing me up inside
But I must make the right move
Have to time it right
So much I could lose

But maybe I should just
Put this whole idea away
Keep it the way it is
Let it remain this way
