Unrequited Love

I am so in love with you.  I see you smile, and your heart smiles a song that takes my breath and for a moment, we stare and we know.  I hear your thoughts and secrets as you whisper them to your pen.  I become the other heart inside as you approach, intoxicated by the soft sweat of your breast.  I see your pain and I try walking into it, observing while closing in that maybe I can take it inside me and away, not fully knowing the extent of your sorrow.  It brings a tear.  Your open and kind spirit warms me.  Your strength and wisdom beckon my love, pulling me into your heart's loneliness.  This is the tragic beauty that completes you.  Bringing you within a breath, closer to my arms and to my soul but only touching lips in a dream.  Yes, I am so very in love with you but can never tell you.  So now, you know.
