Keeping from Harm

I keep my smile away from you
I make sure it is perfectly hidden
So that you won't see

I keep my laughter to myself
Swallowing air every time I have a need
So that you won't hear

I keep my distance from you
To keep your nose from smelling my aroma
So that you won't smell

I keep my lips to myself
Far far away from you
So that you won't taste

I stay as far as possible
A hundred feet away from you
So that you won't touch

This is the easiest way
For me to admire you
So that I won't get hurt

Yet is it possible
That you admire me too?
Do you do as i do?

I'm sure that I admire you
But yet I wonder very often
Do you truly love me?

Author notes

This goes out to "Pepe". It's been a couple of years, but yet I still remember you. Love you so much!

    honest and from the heart. I was looking for "rhyming favorites" and this isn't exactly rhyme but that wasn't a hard and fast rule either I guess. Thank you so much for entering
