Once upon a time

If eyes could talk

If eyes could talk, you'd realize how deeply I've fallen in love with you. . .

I stare at you as you sit down right next to me. You started talking and I would nod every now and then. But to be completely honest, I didn't understand a thing you were saying. Instead, I look at your lips and I realize how much I crave for them. How much I want to feel them against mine.

If eyes could talk, you'd find out how much I long for you. You'd know how much I want you. I want your arms to hold me, I want your hand intertwined with my hand, I want your lips on my lips. Im longing for your touch. I badly want to feel you.

As you continued to talk, I took my eyes off your lips. I paid attention to what you were saying. Well, at least I tried to. I look up at your eyes and met your gaze. We kept the eye contact for so long I could feel my heart skip a beat. You didn't look away. But I did.

If eyes could talk, I'd know if you feel the same way— or whatever you feel for me. I just wanna know what you think of me. I want to know your thoughts. But you've always been so good at hiding your emotions. You never let you guard down.

I started to talk too. Now, you're not the only one speaking. Your smile grew wider. Mine grew too because of you. I could no longer contain my happiness. I bursted into laughter and you did too. We laughed, we laughed and we laughed. I paused for a second to watch you. Eventually, you stopped as well. You gave me a small shy smile and I smiled back.

If eyes could talk, you'd realize that you keep me up at night. You would find out that there are nights I don't sleep at all. That there are some times when I stay up with the moon. I lay in bed with my eyes wide open wondering about the things that might happen. I make up scenarios in my mind about you and me, us, being together.

I glance at my watch and see that it's my time to leave. I gather my things and it takes everything in me to get up. I tell you I have to go and you stand up too. I bid goodbye and no matter how hard it is, I walked away. I couldn't help but look back at you. You waved at me. I smiled and continued to walk.

If eyes could talk, you'll learn how badly I want to stay with you. Whatever the condition may be, I would choose to stay with you. I'd rather be sad with you than to be happy without you. I wanna stay as close to you as possible.

I look back at you one last time. I watch as you turn around and walk the other way.

If only eyes could talk...

But they don't. So Im just gonna keep these to myself.
