Love

“sometimes I forget to breathe…when you watch me with those dark eyes….only realizing when my chest aches….you look away and I take that chance….to stare at you….drinking in your beauty….that untamed strength…you can’t see the fierce hunger boldly written across my face…undisguised….my face flushes….warm and bright as I bite my lip…to keep from saying your name….to keep for calling you…gathering your attention…so I can whisper all the things that are hidden….here…locked inside my mind….I want you…I need you…I ache for you…I burn for you….forcing myself to look away before you see….before you catch me…before you discover all this passion…hidden in me….waiting for you….I look back to catch your eyes on me again…you smile….that sweet, oblivious perfection of yours…such honesty…steals my breath again…”
