Longing

Tonight I’m scared
I want to tell you how I feel
I want you to know who I am

I hide myself from you
Because I love you

You never noticed.

I want you to love me too
But you have never known me
Because I have never shown me

I long to feel you touch my hand
I long to hold you
And smell your hair
I’m scared that will never happen

My eyes catch yours
And dart away
I fear if I look in your eyes
I will become lost
Blue eyes
As soft and beautiful as the sea
That make me feel
Special
Inside

I am longing for you.
