Blind Love

Blind Love He saw her bangles he heard them chime he looked at her but hid behind. He glimpsed her earrings as she danced past he looked at her but turned away fast. He saw her hair as it blew, across her face he heard her footsteps as she walked with grace. He saw how she did everything with style how badly he wanted to share a smile. The words " I love you" were at the tip of his tongue but he was shy he was afraid, he'd be turned down. So he looked at her once more then, sadly he turned away not knowing for him, she felt the same way.

Smile-I loved this vivid and image filled write of Yours dear lady! It held a soft tenderness about it-which I would say, would be but a reflection of "Your Heart" I believe--And I could see You within its setting-music, dance floor, vibrant crowd and reflective lights aglow? Smile-And You looked so lovely it seemed! Very pretty write Maryam!!!-"Warmth and Love To You Always, John!"-Bye Dear Lady!:)
