Too Soon

Happy 100th post! I hope you all enjoy this poem as it marks the 100th post here on A Simple Letter. Look for more info on my upcoming second self-published novel, Death in Disguise, soon.

Maybe it was too soon
to ask you to accompany me
to a place you weren't familiar with.
Maybe it was too soon
that I fell for those blue eyes
that highlight your smile.
Maybe it was too soon
that I took your hand
and held it in mine.
Maybe it was too soon.

Maybe it was too soon
that I introduced you
to everyone I knew.
Maybe it was too soon
that I met your family.
Maybe it was too soon
that I kissed you,
so softly, so delicately.
Maybe it was too soon.

Maybe it was too soon
that I swept you away
into a world you wanted
to always be in.
Maybe it was too soon
for us to picture
a future brighter than
what we could afford.
Maybe it was too soon.

Maybe it was too soon
that I told you how much
I cared.
Maybe it was too soon
to feel as though I could
touch you in a way
no other could.
Maybe it was too soon.

Maybe it was too soon
that I began to worry.
Maybe it was too soon
that we said what we said.
Maybe it was too soon.

Maybe it was too soon
to be more than friends.
Maybe all we wanted
was acceptance with someone else.
But it was all too soon.
