The vulnerability and emotional complexities of new love.
This poem highlights the awkwardness and uncertainty as Brian and Grace open their hearts to love. Despite playfulness and enthusiasm, an underlying struggle with self-doubt and the challenge of letting love in emerges. It illustrates a push-and-pull dynamic between confidence and insecurity, reinforced by shifting emotions.
As Grace has recently left her relationship with Alex, her feelings for Brian will take time to grow. Beverley Joy.
Listen HERE – Poem – Time Will Tell
Our eyes met and curiosity flared
We walked and talked, we laughed and smiled
We sat together and chatted a while.
I dived in boots and all sharing far too much
Now I’m feeling vulnerable, awkward and uncomfortable
I’m bubbly and loud, I must admit
Could I be loved by someone such as this?
It’s not so much could I be loved
For I know another could love me, dear
It’s about me letting love in
Well, I guess, only time will tell.
Last week I felt strong and in control
Now things look bleak, I’m weak in the knees
I’m magnetised to be centre-stage
You’re a willing, captive audience.
My emotional stats read like the share market
I thought I’d ticked off the ‘responsible’ chart
But when I took the test I didn’t pass.
My passion looms with thoughts of you
To be responsible is proving impossible
The truth is revealed. My fate is sealed.
I’m nervous and coy, I must admit
Could I be loved by someone such as this?
It’s not so much could I be loved
For I know another could love me, dear
It’s about me letting love in
Well, I guess, only time will tell.
