Cook
Watching you cook
Is mesmerizing.
Even strokes,
A rapid tempo,
Finishing everything
In a fraction of the
Time any of the rest of
Us could.
I pout in the corner,
Pretending to ignore
Your skill,
But truly, I admire.
It makes me think
How could anyone
Do so much
And maintain such a relaxed
Atmosphere about them.
It's amazing
And I envy it,
But say nothing,
Not wanting to draw your
Attention to me,
Though I long for you to look,
To see my want,
And show me that,
You too,
Feel that way.
For us to kiss
And forever be together.
But it will never happen,
That childish dream.
I would be mortified
If you turned me
Away.
