At Your Own Pace

I assure you now that I am in no rush.
Who wants to just dive into something unknown anyway?
I understand you once had your heart crushed,
And all the pain has not completely gone away.

I assure you, nobody comes in ready for love
It's the journey that somehow tells us that part.
It's as much your decision as it is mine
Telling you, I thought, was just the start.

Let's give this thing a try,
And be careless enough to give ourselves a chance.
As it would be unfair to just compare
When all you've had of me was a mere glance.

Now let's just go with the flow, if you'd agree.
I promise to you that I'll follow your pace.
So please rest your worries, dear.
We both know this is not a race.
