My
Naivete:

Endearing?
Amusing?

Or,
Embarrassing?

I don't mean to be
So

Young,

I don't think the way I
Appear;
The way I
Act.

Do you
Try to move
Away?
To shrink back from my
Puppy-dog
Trailing?

If you're trying to
I can't
Tell.

I don't mean to
Follow you
Just a tiny bit
Too close.
I don't mean to
Smile so
Widely
In the halls;
Sound so
Young
When I talk.

Does it seem that way to you?

I wish my
Words
Wouldn't tangle.

You always seem
So
Poised

And me
So clumsy
Beside you.

What do you see?
