withholding... raging avalanche of perfervid feelings that can never be expressed. his heart hijacked at very first glance. a pocketful of dreams to share. much too much to confess. yet, he'll hold his tongue in perpetuity. alas, she belongs... to someone else. Date written: 02/12/2022

Wonderful clarity of vocabulary--raging avalanche of perfervid feelings--his heart hijacked at very first glance--a pocketful of dreams to share--much too much to confess. His dilemma you so succinctly conveyed.
