• I'm there.
    So close, so far.
    I feel those simple words,
    burning strongly on my tongue.
    I wish to share them with you,
    my long-kept secret.
    But then, you turn your head towards me.
    Eyes of rich, deep chocolate,
    bright and so alive.
    The smile that makes music inside my heart.
    I feel the flush in my cheeks,
    my confession forgotten.
    Will you never know?
    Will I never find the courage to tell you?
    "I like you"
    No, that isn't enough.
    But, could I say the words I truly feel?
    Not yet.
    One day, just maybe...
    I will be able to put my feelings to words,
    just for you.
    You will know.
    But...would you laugh?
    Would...you just turn away?
    I can't know for sure.
    But, until then.
    My love is silent.
