The look in your eyes..
Is so serene and warm.....
Like a boy looking at his love...
But,....
The gaze..
Is not upon me....

Yet,

I m here,
Looking at you with the same look in my eyes....
Might you have not noticed.
Perhaps , you wont ever.

I cant make big promises
For I m not sure how far i can go...
And how strong my emotions are....

Yet , hark!
I m here,
behind the scenes...
A mere twilight existence.....

Smiling at you as a friend...as admirer as a child, as a lover.

Let's see how long it remains...
What shatters first,

My twilight existence or the love I have for you.....
