What Is and Could Be

Whisper my name like a song,
Let me know where I belong.
On your lips, with breathlessness,
On my heart print happiness.
When my eyelids flutter closed,
All of me to you exposed,
When you watch me timidly
When you think that I don’t see,
When I drop my gaze and blush,
When my heart beats in a rush,
Call my name and hold my gaze,
With shyness that your eye betrays
