You avoided me all day.
You pretended I wasn't there.
We didn't exchange a glance, or word,
but I could sense your eyes on me.

I longed to hear our voice,
and I wanted to look in your eyes.
I wanted to speak to you, so
I could tell you my feelings.

Soon the night came, and it changed.
As we stood on the front porch
with the stars hanging over head,
I saw your lips beginning to speak.

But you didn't. No words came out.
You moved close to me,
and put your hand on my face.
Then you gently kissed me.

Is the avoidance now over?
I hope so!

I hate the cold, uncomfortable silence too. But when it's over I get those exciting butterflies! I like this one! =) Justina
