THE invisible boundaries

Love or something else

By NoreenPublished about a year ago 2 min read

The invisible boundaries

I have a feeling in my heart,

deep within my soul,

like my heart is being squeezed

every time you pass by.

The way your blue eyes light up,

drawing me in with every glance.

I see you walk to the park,

taking your seat on that same bench

you’ve claimed for the last two years,

enjoying a sandwich,

lost in the business section of the newspaper you read every single morning,

I swear I wasn’t stalking you

I was just passing by,

captivated by your routine.

I noticed how you smile

that same smile changes

the course of my day,

as you step into the café

for your daily dose of coffee.

Even the smallest things

like watching you add sugar carelessly,

only to realize you’ve overdone it,

and then order a new one,

taking only a single sip

before diving back into your laptop.

I wish I could be that cup of coffee,

perched on your desk,

spending the day with you,

to see the freckles scattered

from your nose to your eyes.

No one notices them from afar,

but they’re a beautiful work of art.

I’m not being a creep.

I just love that Cafe as well.

I just noticed today you’re carrying

a blue handkerchief with your company logo,

a replacement for the white one

you lost yesterday,

likely while on that date

with the girl you love so much.

I see the satisfaction in your eyes

every time she smiles,

that perfect smile she gives only to you,

the contentment blooming in your heart

as she talks with her naturally full lips.

No surgery, no tricks whatsoever

just her beauty, effortless and real.

But I swear to you, I’m not a stalker.

I just happened to stumble upon the truth,

realizing she’s genuinely beautiful,

not cheating, definitely faithful .

Yet here I am, pouring my heart out,

wondering if I’ve crossed a line,

feeling like a creep,

lost in this bittersweet longing

for a love I can only admire from afar.

In this life, I know you won’t be mine,

but in the next, I’ll be spending time with you

on that favorite island I know you own

though I haven’t followed up

on the ownership whatsoever.

And I swear, I don’t know what’s in your wallet,

don’t even know your dog’s name,

but I think I heard you call him Jimmy.

I don’t know anything about you,

or your mom by the way how's she, I heard she's in China for a vacation, I wish I could buy her some flowers, Lilies her favorite ,

I don't know about your family, friends or siblings,

absolutely nothing,I know nothing

I'm not a stalker or a creep

Just someone who knows nothing, I don't even know what I'm feeling or what love is.

But maybe Im close enough or have I crossed the line they say it's thin

But I'm sure I would have seen it,

How does the line even look like

They say love makes people do crazy things, like die for each other

Fight with each other

Fight for each other

But I guess there's a line that when crossed changes the whole thing to be something else…
