Respectful

I’m going to have that conversation

that keeps burning inside of me.

I’ve been talking for a while

in my head

of all the reasons for it to be.

There are things being done

for which I don’t like,

and I think, hope, and wish

for it all to change.

As I am getting so close

to asking her for the most,

I sense my feelings

beginning to rearrange.

The talk is still happening

in my head and real life.

As I continue talking,

I realize in this moment,

somewhere between here and there,

it is going to be alright.
