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 ~ ~
