She walks alone
Unseen by most eyes
A true beauty veiled by insecurity
She smiles
I freeze
Then she smiles some more
Lost in her splendour
Found by her touch
An eternity of bliss in a moment of golden silence shared.
I clothe her in comfort
Moments turn to months
I undress her with a goodbye
Complications of an ageing boy
Guilt and regret fill my shadow still
