"I love you" you say,

ignorant of how it makes my heart sway. 

Your tiny little smile, 

the mole beneath your eye, 

everything about you is beautiful.

Like a gem,you always shine. 

And darling,when our hands had intertwined, 

your five fingers woven in five of mine. 

Even though its been months, 

the warmth of your skin still lingered  in my mind.

Babe,I fell for you, ever so slowly, 

as winter falls in the hands of spring. 

Clearly we aren't meant to be, 

'fated' never written in our destinies. 

Yet every night , 

I dreamt of such fantasies. 

Playing a tug of war with myself, 

months it took to reach an equilibrium. 

However,three words from you, 

I'm once again off balance. 

Love let me be, 

bid me goodbye, fair and square, 

for I'm too much of a coward. 

There's no one but you that I dare not acquire.
