Don't Rock the Boat

Folder: 
Discipline

It seems so likely,
a choice to make.

To have friends,
that I would be attracted to.

Several of which, are beyond
the word, beautiful.
Possessing traits that are
sought after in a wife.

Yet for me, it seems like
none of them could share
mutual feelings.

As if it were a sin to actually
become attracted to one.
I guess I am different than
every other guy?

Why is it natural for everyone else
yet I am left out of the equation?

Yet should I ask, I could be creating an issue
with the possible "No".
Not for myself, but for the comfort of that
particular woman.

After all, they have to be able
to deal with me and be comfortable still.
In group settings, that could get
awkward, and not wanted.

Do I fall on my own sword?
Do I sacrifice my desires for the sake
of their comfort?
Will they ever know if I never
ask, or say anything?

Will I ever be able get past the
point of not rocking the boat?

I don't know.
