secret yearnings

@Uootem

I have a closely guarded secret
              that I love someone so much
and I silently foster a seemingly futile hope
            to someday explore these secret yearnings with her

to whisper in her ear 'i love you'... without letting her know
            the emotions I tried so hard to not let show.
to look into her eyes... to the depth of what lies within
            the vision of love to experience again.
to reach out... to feel the many textures of her skin
            the touch of yearning about to begin.
to kiss... when the lights are low
              with passion felt so long ago.
to feel her lips... softness placed upon my own
            the taste of sweetness once familiar and known.
to feel my heart skip with just the mention of her name
            let its beating go wild and wish she could do the same.
to capture the moment... and suspend it in time
            the way the poet does in his verse of rhyme.
to share moments... from a once shared youth
            the love that equates with eternal truth.
to hold her close... no question, no answer, no regret
            the warmth of embrace impossible to forget.
to explore it all... to discover what I've always known
              it's much better to be with love than to be alone.
to seize the moment... keep this dream alive
            these are my secret yearnings for which I strive.
