Can you not see, I yearn for you? <br />My heat leaps into my mouth when you walk by, <br />the fires of passion, burn under my skin, <br />the colour drains from my face, <br />my heart beats so fast, i feel i will explode. <br /> <br />Of course you cannot see, <br />for I am silent, not daring to speak, <br />for fear of rejection, of riddicule. <br />I am unnoticed by you, <br />I just meld with the background imagery, <br />not really here. <br /> <br />How can they find it so easy? <br />These other girls, they flirt and tease with you, <br />and you, you flirt and tease back! <br />But they do not mean it, <br />they do not love you like I do. <br /> <br /> I dream of you at night, you know. <br />I dream that one day, just maybe, <br />you'll come and take me in your arms, <br />and we'll run away together, <br />and be happy, no matter what people say. <br /> <br />But then, i wake, and realise its all a dream, <br />and the tears sting my eyes as they fill, <br />the saltwater drops fall, <br />fall like my dreams, <br />fall like my heart, <br />fall like me.<br /><br />Steve Armstrong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-yearn-for-you/
