Strangers at first
Oblivious to your existence
Just another face in the crowd
It started with one stroke
One masterpiece
Suddenly you were everywhere
No longer blending in
But a target to find
A collector I became
Obsessed almost
An extreme admirer
The masterpieces became more
Hidden messages behind the exchange
Yet with each scratch on the pure page
You delved deeper into my mind
My heart?
Months of confusion
Mixed emotions
Misunderstood language
Damn that barrier
How long I have wished to tear it down
A break through one rainy summer afternoon
A notebook with a masterpiece
The perfect gift
One which I still hold dearly to me
School came
The pressures overwhelming
Confusion placed
No spoken word
Nothing from you
A change in you
In us
A door was opened and I gladly stepped through
Momentary bliss
Christmas drawing near
We set ourselves apart during the celebration
Holding onto those precious minutes of
Silence
Squeezing tightly never letting go
An unspoken promise
Yet promises were made to be broken
The grip was not strong enough to hold us
Together through it all
Stupidity and fear on my part
A choice I now regret
Innocence holds true in our time together
Sweetness flows from that treasured past
A true love?
I will never know
You had kept our unspoken bond true
In spite of all I broke away
A choice I know regret
Today I can still feel you in my arms
They ache to draw you closer in
But that barrier!
How I have tried to break it down
Hopeless it seemed
Admitting defeat became evident
Another moment bestowed upon us
The silence deafening as I held back
True emotions wanting to flood forward
Into your yours
Once more, I kept them at bay
You will never know my true intentions that night
Back to square one
Almost strangers once more
A surprise?
A gift
Now where do we go?
To the beginning once more?
Could we stay true to our oath?
Could we keep our bond concrete?
A chance is all I need from you to
Prove it all.
