incomplete

The air was thick with new emotions, 
A smile that wouldn’t fade, 
Cheeks blushing at the sight, 
Of brown glistening eyes,  
Curly hair that caught the light, 
A scent lingering as he passed by, 
Drawing me closer, yet keeping me shy. 

A quiet longing in the heart, 
Hoping for a moment, 
For the touch of a hand, 
Or the accidental brush of his shoulder, 
Every stolen glance, 
A secret shared only with myself, 
Love hidden in the depths of my eyes. 

The warmth of his smile, 
A beacon in the crowd, 
Drawing me like a moth to a flame, 
Yet always from afar, 
For fear he’d see, 
What lay within, 
A love so pure, so timid, so new. 

Perhaps it’s true, 
What they say, 
First love is a seed, 
Never fully grown, 
A melody unfinished, 
A story never complete, 
Forever lingering, 
A beautiful ache, 
In the quiet corners of the heart. 

For in its incompleteness, 
It finds its place, 
Etched in memory, 
A cherished embrace.
