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?
