Once a Time with You

Do you see the loneliness in my eyes?

Do you see yourself in there?

Do you understand what I’m feeling?

Just tell me with your eyes, whatever you’re thinking.

 

I’ve been looking at you for so long.

I’ve never looked at anyone, anywhere else.

I only want you to turn and look at me.

Make eye contact just one time is enough.

 

Among other people.

You pretend there’s nothing between us.

It’s like our relationship must be kept in the shadows.

Am I not worthy enough for your love?

 

I don’t wish for us to walk in the same path.

But I dare you to follow your heart.

Because I am still waiting for you.

And our future is still within our grasp.

 

I wish that one day,

You will be able to look up to the stars.

Look up to the sky without shame.

And be brave enough.

 

I hope that someday,

You will be able to look into other people’s eyes.

Not avoid the stares of others.

And tell me that you love me.

wow what a romantic poem... it hurts when you love someone yet he wants to hide the relationship.. there is the fear which is one big question mark because if you love someone you have to love freely

After losing the one you love, you hope exactly this what you have written. Very honest and heart touching.
