And as I sit in this same place as he, Remembering the way he smiled at me, And holding on to every lasting glance, I wish that he would give a second chance For grasping close those smiles and tears alike Emotions rife with words I never said His eyes to mine ever devout and like This mouth wired shut, my face is turning red. And yet this speech I cannot find; instead I say platonic but my love is pure So if and when the both of us are dead The mystery of thoughts can lack allure. A burden lifted- my love yours to hold But still a fallacy our minds behold.
