Unconfessed- From Me to You

 

I try steal a glance 

Whenever I get a chance 

Just to meet your eyes

That trickles warmth down my spine 

 

I have stories to tell 

About our future that overflows with love 

But I can’t spill my feeling 

For I am not sure if you’ll swim or drown 

 

I try to steal a glance 

Whenever I get a chance 

For that radiant ember in your eyes 

Melts the ice in the heart 

 

I have stories to tell

About our future that burns with passion

But I can’t detonate my feeling 

For I am not sure if you’ll admire the flames or flinch away 

 

It’s been a while

Since I saw you that way 

A radiant light 

In the blandness of the everyday 

 

Your smile is brighter than the stars in the sky 

It’s the highlight of my day when you smile at me that way 

A flash of joy in the darkness 

I wish to have these moments with you everyday 

So I do not have to frame these these memories in my mind just keep pressing replay

 

The candle of love is in my hands 

I want to present you with that confession 

The wick it getting shorter everyday 

How much longer do I have to be scared?

 

Your laugh is a light breeze

Among the beautiful trees

On a hot summer day 

You make the leaves start to sway 

 

Each dandelion pappus holds a whisper, a promise, a confession from me to you

But they’re flying away one by one 

With every day that passes by 

How much longer do I have to be scared?

 

They try to steal a glance

Just one look to meet each other’s eyes

Their locked gazes burn with such brazen adornment 

A reservoir of unspoken emotions 

Each smile, each laughter lights up one more lantern along their path 

Creating a clear, illuminated road to each other 

But both, not daring to take a step 

The doubts swirling in their minds 

When their hearts are clearly made to complete each other 

 

A twinge of envy hits my guys 

When I look at those unconfessed lovers 

Suppressed love is a heavy burden to bare 

I hope they give their hearts a break 

And finally find their courage to share 


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Prompt- "Write a story about two people who aren't admitting their true feelings for one another, despite it being obvious to outsiders"-Reedsy


Each of the lover's perspective + the outsider---- different elements repressed to express their unspoken emotions
