Then are you too…

Yesterday it seemed—
my written words, my feelings—
stood right there before me,
as if I were touching them, examining each one.

I had never touched you so close before—
never felt anyone's heartbeat so clearly.
In the darkness your face caught a strange tender light—
I wanted to hold you so very tight.

Lost in these thoughts, you suddenly embraced me,
when your breath fell upon my eyelids—
deep in my chest I wanted you to be mine, countless times over.

Today feels so utterly different—
you didn't hurt me at all today;
why didn't you speak of your longing today?

Do you think—
I understand nothing?

But know this,
today I truly felt the fierce pulse
of love you keep hidden deep in your heart.

I could hardly believe it...
could it be that you too...?
