Crush

She gives me a vibe.
I think. Maybe...
I hope?
I am denim, leather, a butterfly net
For catching dreams
Chasing wishes
Capturing an essence
She is canvas, seaweed, and earth
Salt air wafting from a sandy beach
An oar pulling through dark water
A whisper in the woods
Urging me to stay awhile
And listen to the secrets there
She is stories I want to know
I tell her mine
And she laughs
I put on confidence
But I am
Afraid
I will fumble
Be awkward (and true)
And drive her away
Stay
