Sonnet #1

I Think I Love Him

By Barb DukemanPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I think I love him well enough today,

To tell him that I feel for him this way.

But something in my mind will now let me

Reveal the thoughts to him he cannot see.

This liability is shyness, yes;

It overwhelms my soul, I do confess.

Who knows what wonderful relationship

Will blossom from a pretty quaint friendship?

I honestly believe I'll change my ways

And end this immature and evil phase.

I'll tell him that I need and love him much

Although he me reject me, I'll know such.

To tell him will erase my meekness, and

I'll never have to fear my fear again.
