An ethereal love


			Extra-sensory feel of understanding -
			An astounding sense of empathy
			And of shared love.

			We hold this look at each other
			And in it
			Find a deeper sense of understanding
			A deeper sense of recognition
			And a growing sense of love.

			There can be danger in this gaze,
			For until one of us speaks
			To break the spell
			We are held in awe of each other -
			When maybe we should not be looking 
			For a deeper love in the other.

			As each second passes
			My heart beats a different beat,
			My heart finds a deeper hope...
			And then she breaks away
			Leaving me with doubt amidst my dreams.
			But she has left me something to hold onto -
			Though - has she discovered something of me
			That I do not really wish her yet to know?
