I’m not ready…yet.

Betwixt and between,
The future – unseen –
I dare not believe it could be.
Should I go, should I stay?
Not sure what to say.
He doesn’t know aught about me.

I do, and I don’t,
I will, but I won’t.
What shall become of me then?
There’s no use denying;
I’d only be lying
If I said I was ready again.

I‘m good on my own.
But to not be alone
Would be my ideal remedy.
A friend who’s just right
Would be a delight.
But my wavering mind foils me.

I’m a man, so hope I’m allowed to comment on this lovely poem?
I’ve just got out of a 34 yr marriage, and I’m desperately lonely, hence joining this site, but the thought of actually meeting or even contacting someone gives me the shakes,
I know at my age time is not on my side, but I’m struggling to move on, the poem echoes my feelings perfectly, thanks didi7.
If you come up with an answer let me know please.

I know that only I could decide SM, but that decision is what I'm "betwixt and between" about.blues sigh

Hello Bbilly, I'm glad that my poem resonates with you. I don't get the "shakes", but I do have times when I doubt my readiness. Hopefully, if we change our perspective about what we expect from dating, then we could try a few. Who knows?

Good luck, and let me know if what I suggested helped at all...even a little.wine

Hello Didi.
Can you send me an IM?

Sometimes love comes from hopeless places and you can never be ready to love or be loved, give it a try and don't overthink and limit yourself. Let the past be and project yourself into the future.
