I bet you'd back away
If I said yes
If I said ok
Let's go
Let's do this
Me and you
You wouldn't know what to do
If I said yes
If I let myself be yours
If I started calling you mine
If I gave you my full support and attention
If I became your place of refuge
I don't believe you can handle
The full magnitude of what it means
When I say yes
The consistency
The courtesies
The overwhelming pride
I would have for you
The silence
The disappointment
The inevitable tears
I would have for you
You would have for me
You want me to say yes
Because it sounds good
There you are
Loving the idea of me
Unprepared to love the whole of me
Barely loving the whole of you
You aren't ready
For my yes
But later on
Maybe
