All I Want To Know

hi again.

i forgot to say something last time we met up.
it was stupid and irresponsible on my part,
to let it slip off my mind.
so, i stayed awake all night and thought about
what would be the best way to tell you.

should i bring flowers?
should i sing it aloud?

i don't have enough money to send planes across the sky
and ask them to write my message in the clouds.
i'm sorry.

i tried icing it on a tall, white cake,
but i'm not very good at that and you deserve expertise.

i went to a hundred different stores and looked for a card,
but nothing written in them was even close to enough.

i did try calling you, but got nervous and hung up halfway.
what a coward i am.
i've embarrassed myself.

and now i'm here, having run through a rainstorm,
soaking wet and a total mess.
i'm cold and a wreck, so anxious in front of you
that i'm burning a fever.

i feel like there's something stuck in my throat.
if i try to speak, will my insides come out?
will you see everything?
will you stay?

scared, but more afraid to lose you.
my life is on the line.
my heart is beating through the earth.
my soul is shaking like a glass leaf caught in a winter breeze.

this is it, terrified in a dream.
but you need to hear it
before anyone else gets the chance.

my eyes filled with tears, i whisper to you now
    will you marry me?

fabulous piece of writing, the style is charming. In every line, reader expects something that they can relate with, and you supplied all those incidents- "scared, but more afraid to lose you.
my life is on the line.
my heart is beating through the earth.
my soul is shaking like a glass leaf caught in a winter breeze." The poem can easily triggers sleeping memories of reader. beautifully done!

I'm so glad you liked it, thanks! =) I felt that this style would make it more personable and natural, so when you say it "triggers sleeping memories of a reader" it's awesome to hear.
