Something New

Anxious green eyes.
Dark expressive ones.
A simple ev'ning --
could have been.

Sense your struggle.
A hard next step.
Our parallel lives --
what do you fear?

Eyes are bright
When you are near.
Natural conversations --
do not fear.

I see signals,
Others do too.
Take the step --
do not fear.

Take the step.
Just one.
Trust me --
it's only a step.
