Admiration

If you were to see me from a distance

Would you gaze at me lovingly...

Longing to look in my eyes, hold my hand and touch my warm, smooth skin?

Would your thoughts wander to a surreal place...

And would you feel your heart begin to race...

As if it were going to come through your chest?

Would you watch my every move and wish that you could feel my breath on your lips...

And would you imagine that when we spoke, you would swallow my essence to become part of your very existence?

Would your visions of me carry you away to somewhere that love is all you know?

And would that love make your heart and soul yearn for them to become a reality?

I look at you with wonder, longing to be in your presence, in a casual and familiar form...

Knowing that you are just beyond my reach and understanding that for now, I can only admire you from a distance...

And I so badly wish to walk over and touch your arm as we say hello, like we would if we saw each other every day...

Just like others so easily do...

They don’t know your magic like I do...they don’t realize what they have right in front of them...

And they won’t appreciate you fully or truly embrace your beauty,

Until they’ve lost it forever.
