ANXIOUS

You make me jumpy

and anxious

and wondering what to say.

You make me scared

constantly

that I might fuck up

and lose this most precious of gifts.

You leave me breathless and frightened

and nervous and worried

that I will not earn your love

and, and, and

and I hope you allow me the opportunity

to spend the rest of my life

trying to make you feel

the very same way.
