Reckless Confession

I almost
told you
tonight
about
how I
liked
you
when
first
we
met.
About
the time
we first
talked
and
how
we
both
seemed
to linger
tentatively.
And
later
walking
talking
laughing
friendship
happened
with
potential,
maybe -
somewhere
sometime
and I
was never
really
sure
if you
also saw
something
more.
So tonight
I almost
told you
about
how I
like
you -
still.
