I saw sunlight illuminating your face
And your pale blue eyes the same color as your hair
Your hands were cold
But your cheeks were warm and pink
Your voice was deep,
Especially for a girl,
But your laugh said otherwise
I felt it, you felt it, but we knew we couldn't
You held my hand like a butterfly
Fragile and soft
Your skin barely touching mine
But your fingers neatly tangled
With my own
And my head
Fit flawlessly on your shoulder
I knew it, you knew it, but we knew we couldn't
When I touched you
Your skin turned blue
Because you are the ocean
And I can't stop swimming in your waters
Getting lost in your seas
I do, I always did, but we couldn't
We would sit on the dying grass
And watch the peach sunset
But we were more marveled by each other
Than the Sun falling to the horizon
But we can't
Although someday,
You will rest your dreary head
Upon my sinful shoulder
And hold my hand
Free of judgement
Fear
Ridicule
Shame
And safe from the heavy doors of abandonment
