I gaze into your eyes, a closeness so far away. Draw nearer, so I can see. No good. I am still blinded by the beauty- of you. What do you see in me, when you gaze with your heart? I wonder. Do you see me as I am, was? Will be? For you! Perhaps the truth will remain hidden, secreted behind the veil of my own eyes. Locked away, awaiting only a tender touch. Is it you? Will it ever be you? Or will I remain closed, allowed only, the seeping leakage of feeling? Emotions unknown, begin to burrow - into my heart. I must force them down. Oh will I ever be, set free? Yes, I must, for there is justice in this life. Here, my love. I give you the key. Do what you will, my heart is yours. ------------------ Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll be among the stars. -Unknown- |

I like this a lot. "A closeness so far away." Good line! I look forward to reading more from you.  |
