For the first one...

For the first one...

You seemed so bold at first

audacious was your nature
Then as time ticked on between us
you slipped quietly away
I never fully understood why

             you hesitated

 
Did I annoy you with my certainty
even though I was fresh and new
Did I scare you with my clinging
wanting to absorb everything I could

I was simply learning what you

             already knew

 
Yet with all of our combined faults
we were honest in the dark
Speaking softly, though alone,
of dreams realistic and strange
I was comfortable among the shadows

             of your room
