CONTEMPLATING

Lips as red as blood,
Tantalizing eyes I could drown into,
A smile that took my breath away,
The one I dreamed of all my life.
On the other side,
I see a glimpse of you,
Far beyond my imagination,
But still there, simply waiting for me.
Not knowing what could happen,
I stared at you intentionally,
Memorizing every detail of you,
Daydreaming to be with you!
As time passes by,
I must leave so soon.
It's a choice I have to make,
A choice to change my life.
Love is what I felt
The moment I saw you.
I know it's difficult
But I have to let you go.
Dealing with the fact
That you can never be mine
Breaks my heart
Into little pieces.
Attention is what I need
To make my day complete
And to feel your presence
Even if you're not here.
As I wonder today,
I've realized one thing.
That even as a friend
I can't call you "MINE."
Rocking my world
Like a rock star,
Bringing me up
Whenever I feel down.
Obviously, it's not what I want
But somehow, I feel happy
For having you beside me
And secretly loving you!
Not to expect too much
But that's the way it should be.
For loving you in silence
Makes a curve that I call "SMILE."
