I write what I can't say out loud.
I'm trying not to think about you, but
               I can't resist
My mind drifts to your slow smile,
                how it moves
from  your lips to your eyes--
Or is it the reverse? How it lifts me
from my ordinary self.

Do you ever want to hold my hand?

When we're talking, and others join us,when you laugh with them,I feel tangled up inside, angry. I struggle not to be rude.
I want to be alone with you..
                I love our aloneness.

When I listen to music, I imagine slow dancing with you, and you whisper into my hair, "You are my  one true love," and I smile
                                                 And know
why people write music and paint
                                 and dance, lifted as if they can fly,because this ache
        crashing inside
Needs to be free.
               Sometimes,love
becomes a melody
                      Others hum for years.
