Wishing

I witnessed this one day and it was the sweetest and saddest things I've ever seen and I just had to write about it.

I see you there,
looking at her
with wishful eyes.
That feeling you get
when you're around them,
that fluttering heart,
sweaty palms,
the happiness to know
you're so close to them,
and yet so far away.
I see you there
walking next to her
as you have a battle with yourself.
Should you take that leap
and hold her hand?
What will she do
once she knows the torment
that Love has brought to your heart?
Hand twitching with the decision made
You jump with faith
and slowly go for her soft fingers.
Something happens
and your courage fails you.
You pull away,
defeat written on your face.
