Unspoken Echoes of Unrequited Love

She Walks in, Beauty in motion, Bright as sunlight, Melting in that smile, Drowning in those eyes Falling, I might be, Thinking of no other, Waiting for the moment Longing that this is real, Despair that this is not, Doubting the possibility Waiting for a moment, Hoping this is true Pulse quickens, Sweat beading, Heart pounding Stomach in knots, it hurts, Hands shaking, Voice stumbles The words tumble from my dry mouth She turns red, covers her face And then she leaves, nothing added Oh, what did I do? What did I say? I apologise, she responds It's not clear and I can't see Well, what's said can't be unsaid Was I brave or a fool I know a truth She tried to spare my feelings Which made it worse. It could have been me, but not this time.
