Love, insecurity and pain

Reticent

The flashes of images of you in my reverie,
The smile spreads on my face
like colors on a blank canvas
bringing colours to my pale cheeks.

I weave a tapestry of a fictional love story
of ours with threads of thoughts in my mind.

The reticent demeanor of mine,
Cease me from approaching you.

I want to tell you how your smile
erupts butterflies in my stomach
and how your skin illuminates
under the sun and your eyes shine bright.
