After You

From the long road of life that we traveled, I think we were friends

But if there are expectations I think it’s the best to keep our silence

You who always smile never spoke. The world seems to understand you

The moon is always by the earth and the earth is always by the sun, I’ve always thought the universe is a peaceful place.

A meteorite whizzed past the night sky tonight, a premonition perhaps?

In the silence you held my hand and I felt the night sky shattering above me

The rhythm of my heartbeat thundered in my ears, the stars are sparkling. What do you say?

Your heart must be a lake smothered by fog that no matter how brightly the moon shone, its light will never reach its surface

Your eyes reflected the gentle lapping by the shore of that lake and that gentleness is my temptation.

But you should not have me when you already have someone else, for the moment the purity of the world is robbed away from my senses.

I think I should let go now…gently…gently but I found I’ve lost the strength to do so.

I see your silent form sitting by the pier, lost in your thoughts. What were you thinking of now? Do you still miss your king? The breeze from the ocean teased and caresses your pale golden hair and it makes you smile in a way so endearing, in a way so intimate that I wished I was that breeze. I envy it for the moment because it touches you in so many ways that I never will, it kills me inside to know I may never be given the chance to do so.

Am I a friend to you now? I think you are beginning to trust me…it is a long road ahead but I think you may be opening your heart. How long would I still have to wait?

The witch has taken your magic. I miss those blue eyes of yours, it’s my fault that you lost them both. I am afraid of your sacrifice because I read too much into it, should I hope? Should I even dare to think about the implications?

You have started to care for me, you said you wanted to live. Please let me know…pour out your heart to me. It is all that I wish for…to know if you want my love. In the descending darkness that reaches out for us, I want to be the one who carries the light for us…no for you. Only you.

I watch as you turned and looked at me…is that resolution I see in your eyes? Hurry…come to me. The ocean and the breeze have become too possessive of their new distraction. My fiery temper is ignited by their will so bent on conquering you.

Will you laugh at my extraneous jealousy or will you cherished the thought of it? This is how much you affect me…the world that I knew is now a distant past, you’ve walked into my life and turned it upside down. You are a force that I cannot counter and you are a mystery that I can’t unlock.

I tremble deep within as you stood infront of me and laid your hand on my cheek, my overheated skin seemed to combust from that gentle touch. You leaned in closer and smile as you watch my face grew red before you called out one of my nicknames again but it was not in jest. What is that emotion in your eyes that I can’t seem to catch? You say nothing and do nothing but stand close and you know you have me cornered. You brushed your lips against mine so softly and so quickly that I have no time to react.

You smile again and turn to leave…you know I will follow because I am so lost in you….
