Who Am I?

Who am I that does this,
Without threat or promise,
But for the chance
To express my feelings true,
To you.

I don't claim to love you,
Or even REALLY know you
But give me the chance
My feelings run deep
Asleep.

I want to be with you,
But not to constrain you.
I won't ruin your chance
To make your own way,
Just say.

To share the good with the bad
With you I'd be glad,
Don't discard our chance
Out of hand
Like sand.

I accept you as you are
In entirety, from afar
Take a chance
Let me come nearer
Dearer.

I'm sure you know
Who I am, and so.
ONLY reveal this chance
If you feel for me too
As I feel for you.

Another Valentine style poem by Matthew... Feb 1990 I guess
