Maybe

Maybe in another life I would do things differently
Live the way I wanted to instead of obeying the creed of others
All it would take is a word
A touch, a smile
Even a look, one moment shared
One moment between you and I
And together we could cast off the shackles that bind our hearts
Step beyond reason, into the bliss of abandon
But even I am fearful
Fearful to speak that word
Fearful to reach out and touch
Fearful to embrace that moment
Why?
