Elusive Yearning

In your warmth
I find myself leaning
closer to something scary
and exhilarating
that pulls at me
while I deny it
and in the depth of your eyes
I see myself reaching
towards something lovely
and confusing
that calls to me
while I resist it -
the strength of your caring -
yet I find myself yearning
for something elusive
and delightful
that sings to me
in your presence.
