Love Poem: Masquerade

Masquerade

It has been weeks since I have seen you, 
I wonder how you have been

We have talked on the phone, your voice unmistakable,
 I know it sight unseen

You say you still love me and changed your hair, 
you are almost done school

I know, I do too; I can’t wait to see it, 
I feel like such a fool

The feelings are genuine and real, my hesitation
 to commit causes some pain

I have to be sure this movement is the best, 
not so bloody insane

I want to be the one to love you, care for you
 if it is true and is right

In time, if things workout and you accept,
 perhaps it just might
