Tiresome Questions

All the work to get here...
all my friends have helped...
and now I dare to switch gears,
and frown at what's been dealt!

I'd asked for motivation
and plans to move ahead,
though in my desperation
I shunned most all they said.

But their very last suggestion
was the hardest to comply;
I asked one final question,
"If I speak, will she reply?"

"Of course she will, my friend,
she'll be happy, indeed,
to see that note you sent
be more than just a read."

And it sure was, I thought,
for the words I sent in haste
did naught to stir the pot,
and left a pleasant taste...

But they left it in the air,
the question of the day,
and much have I despaired
to bring it up again,

yea, much have I despaired,
to tell her what is true,
yet, my presence soon impaired,
LOVE... I'm not to do.
