Afar

I watch him from afar
That’s all that I can do
I keep to the shadows and watch him pass my way
But I know that nothing will ever happen between us
A smile, a wave, a nod of the head is all that I receive
But each of these encounters sends sparks and shivers through me
It’s not enough just to watch him
I want to claim him as my own
Today is the day, I must have him, this time I know
So I rush on up to him
And as he stares at me in surprise
I whisper
‘I Love You’
And tears fill my eyes
He gently smiles down at me
Whilst blinking in surprise
‘I Love You Too’
He whispers
‘And iv been watching you from afar’
As our eyes lock
He moves towards me
And as his lips touch mine
I am transported to paradise
As we walk along hand in hand
The smile on my face says it all
I have found my savour…
…and now my heart is his
