Mistaken

The way your eyes 
Tracing me
From head to toe

Memorizing every detail of me
Mesmerizing the uniqueness
You have ever seen

Smiling warmly
Initiating towards
Shorten distance
Between you and I

I cannot believe
It is happening to me
Used to being invisible
Only from afar
To see such sight

Excites heart of mine
Looking at you
Anticipating your next move

But doubts appear 
In my mind
Of what you see
The thing brings you near

Finding out
That I am far different
From your desires

Not able to balance out
With our differences

What if 
It is a bad mistake?
Putting love on wrong person

It is never love
Just lust with heartbreaking ending
Which should not 
Start at the first place

Walking away
Cannot stand any longer
Knowing
It will break my heart
Wanting to happen
Yet be in safe distance
Not wanting to hurt you
