Description
Secrets.
Burning in the dark.
Waiting for you to wait for me.
Such a spark here,
That you don’t see.
The smile that makes me weak in the knees.

You have a laugh that dives me mad,
And all the dreams I’ve ever had,
Are centered in your almond eyes.

What a surprise!
That you don’t see
The way I look at you,
Or the way my heart pounds,
Its wild tattoo,
‘gainst my ribcage as you lean on my shoulder.

If you need me,
Love,
I’ll be waiting in the dark,
Hiding out and watching
As you pass before my eyes.

Lies.
I say to myself, and to the world at large,
I don’t need you,
I don’t want you,
I don’t love you…
But these are all lies.

If you knew, though…
Oh! If you knew.
We are forbidden.
I am forbidden.
By you, in a word unspoken.
Never again would that smile rest on my heart,
Nor your song strike chords in my soul,
And dark would be the day you found out,
For I know with that discovery,
All we had would die.
Because there can never be
A you and me…
So I hope you never see,
The way I look at you.
