affection through unintention

The ones we look for are not the ones we dream of.

The ones we run to are the ones that never desert us.

The ones passions burn for are not the beautiful.

The ones you never miss because they never leave hold a secret flame and branch of our hearts that burn eternally within us.

 

I speak of the love we have overlooked, the one you have known and cherished but never freed.

My dreams linger on your lips,

My passions upon your fingertips,

My love falters as my patience slips..

 

That person who holds you in such tension,

His affections show through unintention.

You lie alone and weep in desolation

As they gaze upon you with such lamentation.
