When Your Eyes Meet Mine
I often wonder ~ ~
What would you think if only you knew
my heart flutters at the thought of kissing you.
I get lost in wishful reveries of what could be
until I come to grips with the sad reality ~ ~
You have never looked at me
as anything more than a friend.
I don't think you ever notice little things,
like how often I quickly look away
when your eyes meet mine ~ ~
or the blush that colors my cheeks
each time you come near.
When you smile, shadows seem to disappear
I hear your laughter and begin to shiver ~ ~
knowing I would quiver at your slightest touch.
A sigh escapes my lips at the thought of it.
I long to have you whisper in my ear
endearing words uttered in passion's breath.
Those I often dream of hearing ~ ~
Intimate things, spoken in throes of love.
If wishes could quench my thirst for you
I would be eternally drunk on requests.
My hunger well-sated by ardent feasting
upon a banquet of untethered desires.
If only you knew how much I want you,
would it cause you fear and grief?
Or is there a chance you'd be relieved
that I was the one who opened that door?
If you looked deeply into my eyes
and neither of us turned away ~ ~
would you see my fear in confessing my love
and would you wipe away my tears?
Still I wonder ~ ~
What would you do, if only I would tell you
What would you say, if only you knew ~ ~
