Do I Dare?

Dare, Dare,
Do I
Dare
let myself feel for him?

His big brown eyes
looking, gazing
down at me.

The way his words
end in a question,
as if he expects me to answer
the unasked question

"Do you like me
like I like you?"

His smile is pulled wide,
dimples tugging on
the corners of his mouth.
His eyes alight
with the laughter
coming from his broad smile.

And in him, a Spirit,
a breath so lively, vivacious.
A spark, a yearning
not found in the hearts of
people of this world.

His ability to reveal his
personal struggles,
deepest darkest secrets
in front of a classroom of people,
the only desire of his heart being
to show the Goodness of God.

So respectable, so dependable
with his broad shoulders.
Looking up into his eyes
full of joy and security.
Written in them
is a future of
nourishing the Faith we share,
worshipping what would be
the glue holding our relationship together.

But..
As there often seems to be
in a possibility of bliss...

Dare?
Do I fight
through this blockade I've been building up
for so many years?
Dare?
Do I risk my own vulnerability
for a potential lifetime of happiness?
Dare?
Am I sure he's the one?

Dare, Dare,
Do I
Dare
let myself feel for him?

I like that font size manipulation. This seems like something that was made to be read aloud, and changing the size helps to simulate that.
