i've stumbled on the keys
for weeks now
looking for some sort of sign
that it was okay for me to take the leap
i thought i missed it until
i squinted my eyes
and found confidence
between the lines
enough so i could let my finger
tentatively fall
onto the button
and into whatever awaited me
at the bottom

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

I felt the same when I first submitted to a challenge. Great approach to this challenge!
I know that feeling of the tentative fall of the finger onto the keyboard. Nicely done!
Love the sense of building courage as the poem continues. Great read.
