translation

 
love lost in translation
the telling too intense, I couldn't just tell you
that I love you
moving in close enough to touch, frightened me enough
 
your eyes shimmer with dreamscapes, I long to escape to
soulful need, I ache to reach in
tenderness on display but I held back
I was afraid
 
stalking your perimeter  
I watch on as you handle yourself easily
my awkward movements make me feel odd
all angles, not many curves
 
your edge soft with understanding
I want to believe you
somehow I doubt
so I go away
 
my thoughts always wander to you  
no matter how far I go
your steady pace leads me back to reality
 
stoic presence your hardy soul talks to mine
my love for you grows
sadness touches, then goes away when you grin
a smile that touches your eyes and I sigh within
 
my ache pulses I want to hold you
my silent love remains, even when I'm gone
even when I leave
 
to this day you have my heart
I'll always come back to find you
