Silence

In silence I watched her, a ghost shadowing his love, forever chained to this earth by her. I could not speak to her, for to do so would undo this spell. And so I force myself to not speak.

Oh, the things I wanted to say. How much I missed her, how good she looked, how I liked her hair, how I love looking deep into her eyes. All these things and more, yet my mouth moved not.

I wanted to run to her, and sweep her off her feet. Kiss her deeply and hold her tight. Whisper sweet promises into her ear, tales of what the future holds. I want to hear her laughter, softly caressing my ears, filling my heart with joy. I want to drink her in until I have had my fill and cannot drink anymore, for surely that will be my death.

I remained silent and did nothing. No eye contact, no smiles, stoned faced. She noticed, she watched, I knew. I can't change some things, so I just take what I can get.

My eyes were overjoyed, they got to drink her in. My ears rejoiced with her laughter. My soul screamed her name. My lust cannot be sated.

Such is life.
