Beneficial Risk

When does friendship change
Evolve and transform
As intimacy is heightened
Beyond casual conversation
Physical attraction growing
More and more tension
Is this a complication
Or the step to something better
Am I too inexperienced
To halt or stall these emotions
Enjoying each chat and comment
Each story shared and cherished
Coffee and company
I am afraid to admit more
A stronger attraction to you
Unsure that it is mutual
Perhaps I am only a child
In your eyes as a little sister
But my friendship with you
Is altering to a point
I won’t act like a young girl
The tension will become unbearable
I’ll cross the casual line
And catch you off guard
Either scare you away
Or find the strength
To make a risk that will benefit us both
