Forbidden

There’s a girl I know, not well you understand,
Who makes my blood move, my heart leap,
She doesn’t know just how I feel,
Is it a crime to harbour admiration so deep?

The dark eyes, amazing hair,
Skin defining the surface of temptation,
She has the curves that move me,
I live for receipt of her invitation.

Her smile is a thing of wonder,
I love the way her eyes flirt with me,
Her every movement, God’s gift,
And her grace makes me grateful for the things I see.

With Beauty that transcends all others,
And a voice which sings to my ear,
I am entranced by her presence,
To see her no more is my brutal fear.

It’s all that I can do,
Whenever she walks past,
To stop myself from reaching out,
And pull her close to me at last.

Every day I want to tell her,
And make her understand,
But circumstance will prevent me,
From steering my ship towards her land.

You see, to another I am betrothed,
My feelings for you I must keep hidden,
As much as I want to be with you,
Should such a union be forbidden?

But what could I say to you?
For you are not mine,
To let you know that I think of you,
I know –
Will you be my Valentine?

Thanks for your comment.

I wrote this some years ago and yes, I sent it to the lady in question on several consecutive St Valentine's Days. She knew how I felt. Alas she never reciprocated in any way.
I have been away from the country for some years now but went back for this Christmas just gone and, by chance, happenned to see her dancing in a park festival. She looked as beautiful and animated as ever.

I doubt she even remembers who I am.

Ow common Rubicon, what good is love and feeling, and longing, if it is hidden and unspoken? But then this is me...I would love to see you go and tell her...Two hearts might melt and own the world...

Thanks for your dual encouragement WW.

Well, I was younger and not very brave back then and it appears that she has a husband and young child now.

Some things are best left...unspoken.
