You pause in front of me,
take my hand in your own,
look into my eyes and
whisper exactly what I'd
not realized I was living for.
You pull me close
in front of everyone
without shame
without blame
and kiss me softly.
Then I awaken
from the dreams
that I knew better than
to think of
or believe in.
But it still hurts
and though I know
that I'm not fated to
be with you, or experience
what life is with you-
I can't not want you.
lol @ my idiocy
