Lead

you are what
I want,
but are you
what I need?
I see the outlines
forming,
then the colors
start to bleed.
I could be the girl
if you'd only
give your word
silent actions speaking
still, I don't know
what I heard
I ask for too much, perhaps
or go "all in"
in haste,
rushing forth naively
I will lose you
in the chase
Am I what you want?
or am I what you
need?
I will wait for more
and, in faith,
let you lead.
