Flowers by the Side of the Road, originally uploaded by Jeff McMorrough.
if I whispered in your ear the truth of
What you make me feel, would your eyes find mine?
Would my gaze betray the fear I feel of
Never holding you close and knowing your heart?
Could you rest in my arms or would you run?
Showing me the fool that I fear I am.
Your lips make me tremble but I cannot speak
The depth to which my soul longs to know yours.
Your skin makes me melt yet I cannot touch;
Knowing it will not last for I must awake.
