A touch of your hand,
A glance of your eye,
A shine of your smile,
A taste of your lips,
A gesture of something
that may not exist.
Should I act upon this gesture?
Though if I do,
what come of it?
If I tighten my grip on this hope,
would it slip through my fingertips?
Would it end like the rest?
Would I fall in a canyon of pain?
Would we end up hating each other
as before?
Feelings of the past
haunt me today
Though I do not necessarily
welcome them back,
I cannot rid of them
The pain of others'
Their jealousy which led
tears at my confused heart
adding to my discomfort
And this trinket
I highly admire
given to me (from you)
but out of what?
Could it be nothing?
All these questions
that torment my mind
Am I good enough?
Is it worth it?
How does he feel?
Am I being used?
Will we ever be?
Who will it hurt?
How will it end?
Is it beginning?
Am I searching for nothing?
All started from,
A touch of your hand,
A glance of your eye,
A shine of your smile,
A taste of your lips,
A gesture of something
that may not exist.

This is so beautfiul and expressive, especially the first stanza about all the ways they make you feel by a look, a touch, a gesture etc.

i love this part:
A touch of your hand,
A glance of your eye,
