No. 

 

Mere inches separate us, 

Filled to the brim with my 

Unspoken words. 

 

Our unspoken words. 

 

The lingering glances, 

That divine sparkle in your eyes 

And the confident smile that 

Molds your lips. 

 

You catch me staring, 

But it is all I can do. 

With trembling fingers 

And measured breath 

I reach for your hand 

 

Your head turns 

Just slightly towards me, 

Your soul acknowledging 

The flame burning in my chest, 

My throat. 

 

In this moment 

The eternal rotation of the stars 

Stops to stare. 

 

The moonlight flickers.

 

In silence, I smile, 

A whisper, 

"Even in sleep 

You are a wonder

To me."
