He walked by,
As softly as a kiss,
As quiet as the twilight.
He walked by.
So where this path shall lead us,
None shall know.
But he walked by…
I felt his presence.
He walked by,
But stopped right behind me.
The feeling lingered in the air
But, he walked on.
I felt fear arise
A deathly pale fear
The type of fear that destroys love.
And I choked on my own voice.
Now I walked in,
I saw him from afar
And the feeling arose once more
When I only find to see,
He was looking too.
Whether gaze was rested upon my face
I shall never know
But oh how I wish it was,
So I can watch this love grow into something so beautiful..
And so I thought our eyes met, but I looked away,
The fear overcame my courage to speak.
As the time passed I looked again,
And I thought our eyes met once more.
His ravishing brown eyes,
Tearing into the very depths of my soul.
Tearing me apart, wanting the love he possesses
To be mine, and only mine.
This love I thought I knew so well,
Is not quite there.
It lacks one actuality,
I have not spoken a word to this man I love.
But, I have also never looked at anyone this way before.
This must be done, I shall speak the first
Because the fear of loving again must have eaten him away.
I want to love him with my entire being
I want him to love me the same
I look at the light at the end of the tunnel
And I’m finally able to touch it
The fear of loving is gone
Because of this one man
This perfect man.
But he doesn’t know I feel the way I do
And I doubt he feels the love I feel for him
But nevertheless, I want him to see me
Look at me for who I am.
Maybe then he can learn to love…
Someone like me.
He walked by once more
Oh- how I long to tell him goodbye,
But it was too late,
He was gone, softly as he came
And the word just remains on my tongue,
Until tomorrow.
