What should I do with the poem? Since it's about him. . .written by me. . .yeah, vote on how you feel.
Stranger's Hands
Your hand rest gently On the small of my back You lean in and tell me Something I already know- Time to go.
For a moment of life, I continue. Then, I notice how little I know of you. Comfort given by your hand- A stranger's hand.
The days pass by- a hasty blur-seeking only you- Another moment comes; You complimenting me. Yet, you never knew what I said.
You insist we share a book; I do not know where this is leading. I become excited as Laura While she watched the puffins diving; The desire to stay for hours That change to mere minutes together.
I want to tell you of it; Of my life and how you are now a part, Perhaps even the cause, of it.
I settle back and relax; I fear so much that I cannot know. The fear abates for the time you are near And returns again when you leave the room.
Will you love me? Will you leave me?
I have only one goal; I have only one wish, I seek only one truth- To know the constant comfort of your hand- The touch on my back- No longer a stranger's hand.

Just so you know, the wait for a bit option means that I'll be waiting for the right moment

I would wait until after the date when the right moment presents itself. See how things play out during the date and decide whether or not you wish to share how you feel.
It's a really wonderful poem.

The poem is beautiful, but it puts you in a place of emotional vulnerability. I voted to wait, see what develops, and look for the "opportune moment"...

I, too, agree that it makes you emotionally vulnerable. Wait till he shows undeniable signs of interest and then wait for the opportune moment.

Is being emotionally vunerable all that bad? I mean. . .I have so many walls that people are constantly telling me to knock them down. . .so would it be bad to be emotionally vunerable just once?

No, not bad... just, you can choose to be vunerable to whoever you want, but it's easier with some sort of assurance that the person isn't going to crush your hopes with one blow. I, too, would hate to see you hurt.

So it comes back to me possibly getting hurt. . .is it a risk I'm willing to take? I spoke to my friend about it and he was like, "Well. . .you don't want to scare the kid. . .but at the same time, I made a lot of stupid blunders in my relationship" And he just got engaged to the girl he was referring to. . .*sighs* more prayer and meditation on the matter. . .
My only question is this. . .if I'm not supposed to give it to him now, why did it come now?

Ha. Good question. It could be the Lord telling you about your own feelings. Or us. I still think you should feel out his feelings a bit more. Oh, to be young again ... *reminisces of days of youth*

Yeah, Grandpa! Tell us again about that incredible hike to school? Uphill both ways and knee deep snow in the summertime... and the part about the dinosaur attack is always great to hear!

I know this sounds absolutely crazy. . .I know it's against EVERYTHING EVERYONE has been telling me. . .but I have to give to him soon. I'll know when the right moment is. . .that I have no fear of. . .but I don't think that it'll as long of a wait as even the first date. This much I know to be true. I just have to wait for when the spirit will tell me that now is the right time.

I'll pray that it is the right timing and that things turn out well.

I'll know when it's right. . .it'll be a scary time . . . but I have confidence that the right moment will come and the right words will be said. . .not necessarily the words I will want to hear, but the words I need to hear
