you. yes you are the one, close to me, dear to me, important to me
but if you see, you won’t see me, you won’t choose me, no you won’t
isn’t that the catch? the bad luck? the fault in our stars? you agree?
leave you will; bear I must; my heart will ache but cry I won’t

smile it is, or the deep dark eyes, jet black hair or your narcissistic way
humor me, tell me lies, when I ask, do you feel for me? do you love me?
words are but words, don’t mind my blunt tone, mind what they say
let’s not stay, take my hand, trust my grip, love my hair, with me flee

what are you afraid of? why are you trapped? is it you or them all?
you have so much to share, so much to give, so much kindness in you
just say the word, I will follow you, beyond the seas and over the wall
speak your heart, laugh out loud, sing a song, wear something blue

let me tell you this too, let me play a song now, and see you dance
and when you do, the heavens are my witness, when my eyes gaze
shall I tell her?’ no, I shan’t; how can I when I am lost in her trance?
I must tell her one day — what I feel, why I feel, for her, all these days

regret I might, one day, this letter to you, my emotions in your hand
but that’s okay, I am human after all, and my heart full of pure affection
the kind you are, it is nothing but nature, to fall for you, a quicksand
don’t worry me lady, trust my word; about this, I will speak to none

life is beautiful, so are you; may God kill me now, strike me down, if I lie
those eyes, big as the doors to your heart; your heart, pure of any malice
your mouth, the smiling lips, speak the words, no filter, true as they untie
chubby cheeks, squishy nose, strong jaw, all this as holy as the chalice

let’s talk about a hand, not just any, but one in a universe, silky smooth
when I touch it, when it touches me, a gentle warmth dons my body —
a sense of satisfaction crosses my mind, and helps my soul soothe, thus —
I wonder in awe, the power of a simple touch, can leave a mark so heavy

did I mention the mole? on your cheek, under your lip, besides your nose?
or the one under your neck? don’t mind me darlin’, don’t get your guards up
you mesmerize me, they are more than just black dots, and my head bows
like black holes of the nature, a pull so hard, a similar effect of this mock-up

what is love? to me is looking at you, listening to you, and your voice —
your voice calling my name, could anything be sweeter to my ears?
hey listen, listen to me too sweetheart, I love you, I wish I had a choice
why, you ask? why do I love you? it is you, you being you, all these years

it must be a daily for you, admirers, lovers, proposals, and your rejections
I am not them, I am not a daily, I am not a pervert, I am but a boy in love
do not turn a blind eye to me, you mean more than me to me, to billions
thus, with my respect, my love, for you, please respect, for you, my love

it is your eyes, I know now, so deep, so beautiful, so gorgeous, so elegant
so alluring, so grand, so graceful, so royal, so exquisite, so fascinating
so delicate, so charming, so magnetic, so hypnotic, so enchanting, so gallant
so mesmerizing, so fascinating, so seductive, so cruel, and so blushing

I wonder, ‘does she think me too? like I do’, do you? do you my dear darlin’?
I love you, I do, you don’t, why will you? I am, after all, just another Romeo
you too, my love, aren’t my Juliet, for you are the one, the only one twin
there is, in existence, as far as the universe stretches, none like you weirdo

maybe it is late, for us, to be together, maybe it should have been early —
for my feelings, to reach you; but why isn’t it? why am I late to your heart?
too late, for us to be, to be one; maybe my absence, away from you lengthly —
stood us so away, far, from each other; yesterday, today, and forever apart

this is the end, the endgame, this is where it ends, where we part ways —
but our paths never met, such irony, it was always too late to realize —
for me to realize, you, me, my love for you, your hot and spicy craze,
I am happy though, for you, with you, so here is farewell, and my byes…!
