I got too close; I had to take a step back. Here I stand, Trying to catch my breath. There you are, Looking so wonderful; Even a Kerouac haiku Would pale in comparison To your sparkling smile, Your huge, engrossing brown eyes, And your tender words That put my restless soul at ease. You spend more time in my mind Than even my own thoughts; I miss your touch, But you do not miss mine. You don’t know; How could you? I never told you. And you will never know How much of my heart you have stolen. You are the most beautiful— And unwitting— Of thieves. There is nothing to do But stand over here, Hoping that you somehow understand Why I can’t meet your gaze Anymore.

For Trinity, pt. I
I got too close; I had to take a step back. Here I stand, Trying to catch my breath. There you are, Looking so wonderful; Even a Kerouac haiku Would pale in comparison To your sparkling smile, Your huge, engrossing brown eyes, And your tender words That put my restless soul at ease. You spend more time in my mind Than even my own thoughts; I miss your touch, But you do not miss mine. You don’t know; How could you? I never told you. And you will never know How much of my heart you have stolen. You are the most beautiful— And unwitting— Of thieves. There is nothing to do But stand over here, Hoping that you somehow understand Why I can’t meet your gaze Anymore.
