@};- If Only @};-
by Felar
In the clouds, of your own thoughts
Is where you are today.
I see you
sitting across the table.
But your mind is far away.
I love the look upon your face
When you glance up at me.
Your smile
brightens-up my day
But what is it that you see.
A student, a geek, a scientist?
A weakling you must protect?
Or does
another reason prompt
This guarding nature you exhibit.
I see you pay more attention to me.
And you seem to know I covet
Every
attention you spare for me.
The touches, the gestures, the love.
But you're of a world that shuns such feelings
And all the military
taboo
With their "don't ask, don't tell"
Just what am I to do?
You are quite a mystery, you know?
And all to easily I fell
All I love
is only you,
But of this I shall never tell.
Never have you been matched
In history, tale, myth, or lore
Not quite
the archetypal man.
A soldier, a friend, a father, yet more.
I'm the friend you go out with
The man to whom secrets you've told.
But
Oh! How I do long
To be the one you hold.
How I do wish that I could stay,
And be here through the night.
At
least let me have another minute with you.
Before I take to flight.
I'll be your dreams, guard your heart
And relish all your
fantasies.
I'll cherish all that you would give
And keep them close to
me.
But I say my goodbyes and regretfully depart
Barely keeping my depression
at bay.
Now I must face another night alone.
If only you had asked me to
stay.
