Decipher

Smile lighting up my world like a supernova explosion,

Given confidence through speech causing anxiety expulsion,

Looking into your eyes and reading the joy within,

And wanting to ask the pressing question but being hesitant to begin.

What if I’m wrong, What if I read to much into a simple greeting?

What if I misinterpreted something more than just two people meeting?

This is what drives me crazy with all of these second guesses,

Afraid to explore any hidden meanings and trying to avoid interpersonal messes,

Nothing can be simple for me because of this constant overthinking,

It’s like a warning alarm complete with sirens and red lights blinking.

I wish I had an interpersonal relationship Rosetta Stone,

So that I can figure out the mixed messages on my own,

Instead of taking the risk of assuming and making the wrong choice,

I could actually decide how to proceed with confidence in my voice,

I need to become a better verbal intent deviser,

Just so that our path can be deciphered.
