Acceptance, finally…
The realisation came slowly upon me,
Stealthily spreading through like a wave.
Calm acceptance
My mind had found it’s centre of balance.
My adoration and feelings for you,
Not returned,
Now devoid of expectance.
I am sad yet relieved reaching this conclusion.
Our connection remains,
Perhaps will be stronger,
If the heartache has ended.
I’m not even sure if you knew how I felt
But it’s clear to me that more than friendship
Has never been what you intended.
I trust you when say you that you’ll be in my life. ...

I Cannot Say It
Do you know?
Look at me, can you read it in my eyes?
Can you feel it in the way I touch your skin?
If I were to give voice to my feelings then it could spell the end.
This fear renders me silent,
This fear is overwhelming.
How do you see me?
Do I cross your mind in times of quiet?
Do you share this unspoken bond?
If I were to tell you of my adoration, you might reciprocate.
A great love could begin,
A great love could unfurl.
What is this connection?
What is this pull that draws me to you?
Does it need to be...

Heavy On My Heart
So near but yet so far you are,
Some days it lies heavy on my heart,
It feels like you’re an elusive piece,
In a game that’s still to start.
The connection is strong, to you I am drawn.
I see your flaws and I think you see mine.
I have cared for you deeply, into love I did fall,
But this stays unsaid, I just can’t cross that line.

These are the facts
I long to be touched by you.
All the time, I imagine your eyes smiling back at me.
I miss hearing from you even if just for one day.
And I relive you holding me in the stillness of that one precious moment.
I get mad with you if you forget something about our exchanges.
I hate it if you are sad or unhappy or bored.
I worry when you’re travelling or working too hard.
I am jealous that you’re giving your time to someone else
I feel sad that the reality is not different.
Is this what Love feels like?

Another lifetime
If this was another lifetime, oh how I think we would dance.
There would be endless fun to be had.
We could each be that person who lightens the load.
With you in my life, I would rarely be sad.
If this was another lifetime, I should like to walk and talk of anything and everything for hours.
When we were apart we would call or write at the same time each day.
About daily frivolities one minute and philosophical debate the next.
Yet there’d be comfort in quiet when we’d not need to say.
But here lies the problem: the lifetime I speak of is...

You’ve captured my heart
That photo.
You smiled and I saw kindness.
Those words.
You wrote and expressed such tenderness.
Your fingertips.
You touched me and I felt safe, loved and yours.
You smiled and I saw kindness.
Those words.
You wrote and expressed such tenderness.
Your fingertips.
You touched me and I felt safe, loved and yours.

The Haven
Come with me?” I whisper
The words caress you as they brush past your ear
Lie next to me in this idyll
Where we can be free
In mind and in body
For the short time we are here
Together.
“Can I touch you?” I ask.
I want to enfold you in my arms and never let you go
I could lie here for hours if you were to stay
Running fingers along the contours of your chest
With every stroke of your skin
I try to convince you
To escape
Just us two
“Come with me” I whisper.
The words caress you as they brush past your ear
Lie next to me in this idyll
Where we can be free
In mind and in body
For the short time we are here
Together.
“Can I touch you?” I ask.
I want to enfold you in my arms and never let you go
I could lie here for hours if you were to stay
Running fingers along the contours of your chest
With every stroke of your skin
I try to convince you
To escape
Just us two
“Come with me” I whisper.

Before & After
The anticipation is torturous,
Will I see you, will you turn up?
I long for your touch and your skin against mine.
If you don’t make it, should I give up?
....
My fears were confirmed
Yet tears they won’t fall
Perhaps my heart knows,
I never mattered at all.

The Person Within
Will you see me, the person within?
Through my flaws and imperfection?
I want you to see what lies underneath.
I want to be the object of all your affection.
I may not be able to fulfil all your dreams,
I may not have beauty but my essence is pure.
I cannot give more than my body allows,
But I’d give you my heart, of that I am sure.

A plea from my heart
Pull me in then push me away,
Is this some sort of game that you play?
I have feelings you know, I’m not here just for you,
To pick up then discard when you’ve better to do.
One way traffic isn’t how it should be,
Think of me first on occasion and then I might see,
That you care, that you value the bond that we’ve made,
I’m here in the sunshine not there in the shade.

Wonderings
My mind is bursting with thoughts of you,
I think I am seriously hooked.
The feelings you give me are all too consuming,
My heart flipped that moment you looked,
As we parted that wonderful day I last saw you,
And I sit here reliving those glances.
I want to stay in this comforting reverie,
Wondering what are the chances?
That you feel the same, that you’ll tell me,
That you think of me often as well.
The thrill and excitement, the comfort and closeness,
How we move on, time will tell.

Love and Fear
I think that it’s better I put up some walls,
My heart needs a bit of protection.
For your words they do melt me, perhaps give me false hope.
And I fear they will just lead to rejection.
I’d crumble if you decided to go,
Cut off connection and not see me again.
It’s fragile this bond that we’ve built over years.
As well as great joy I am scared of its pain.
If I were certain you’d not run away,
I’d tell you the truth that my heart wants to say.
Until that moment, that is... if it comes,
I’ll adore from a distance hoping love...
