He wanted her
And she knew it
She wanted him too
But she couldn't find the words to say it
She couldn't think of a way to express it
So she hesitated
She waited
And even though she feared in time she would loose him...
Still she said nothing
And nothing was done
What if she read him wrong?
What if she told him only to be made a fool of?
To be laughed at, humilated
Was it really worth the risk?
"Yes, Yes!"  Her heart cried
"No, No!"  Her mind chanted
She took in the exquisite details of his face and found him marvelous.
He was a mystery
And she was Holmes determined to find the key to unlock his secrets
She wondered if some things were better left unsaid
Do all things need to be spoken?
If he truly wanted her
Couldn't he see the desire in her eyes?
Didn't he know that his touch brings peace of mind
And desire to her?
Must all things be spoken?
Can't they just be learned...Without a word?

I don't think he could help but see the desire that burns in your eyes...sometimes it is good not to let our feelings show at other times not so good....there doesn't seem to be an answer to this one...I want to say be bold and let him know your interest but I have done that and known also the feeling of rejection when one reaches out. I guess only you can decide if you want to take that chance. You have written about it so well you have me questioning myself. BRAVO!!!Great writing. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Both the written word and the spoken word can hold so many powers.  It's true that some things are better left unsaid but in the affairs of the heart I think you should tell that special someone how they feel and you may be pleasantly surprised.  I enjoyed your words very much and look forward to more.  Take care......Sue
