What I Forbear

Sometimes I see you walking down the sidewalk
and I can feel the gentle mist of spring lift
and dance a tune of your aroma in my nose.

You do not know how may times I have wanted
to share the fantasy of all my stars in the night.
Share all my moon dreams of romance.

Instead I must be silent as a stone.
Hard and cold like obsidian

You do not know the pain of loving you
in the deep dark dread of my silence.

Gorgeous poem and I can relate to these sentiments way too well. I love the 'real' feel of this piece and how it seeps into you as you read it. Very strong.
