What a revelation,
slowly understanding you, that is.
Your humility and silence were a thousand words unspoken and unwritten.
Somehow,
I could only imagine the unspoken love you harbour for the unspoken girl.

Such envy I feel, yet, 
I shan’t do anything about this envy.
Not this time.
Not ever again.
But wait, 
I never did.

Sure, 
I say that now,
But maybe, 
one day, when we’re older,
and wiser.
I’ll take the chance and ask again. 
Break the ice, and melt away the strain.

But here I am,
already attracted to another smile.
