His voice falls sweet upon my ear
As he bends his breath around my name,
Unaware he's set my soul to trembling-
His eyes a blend of slate and ice
Twinkling as he looks my way-
His gaze meets mine, setting my heart afire
And I fear in my eyes he may see
All that I feel, for none but he.
He laughs, and all is right in my world-
He hurts, and I hurt with him.
Every beat of my heart cries his name-
The slightest brush of his skin against mine
Leaves my knees weak, yet I long for more.
I ache for just one sweet, lingering kiss-
To feel the strength of his arms around me
His heart, pressed so near to mine.
Must love be so damned hard-
I want, need, love this single, beautiful man
Yet to keep him near, I must not reveal
The truth behind every word I speak.
I lie awake with thoughts filled with love
Asleep, I dream once more of he
Who holds my heart in aching thrall
Though he remains unaware of all
The power, the hold he has o'er me.
O fool heart, how can one ungainly woman such as I
In loving a beautiful soul, a man such as he
Ever hope for more than this-
To win his heart-
To gain his love?

This good friend of mine knows of my interest in him as more than a friend, and has mutual interest as well, yet is unsure of his exact feelings for me. I don't know if I should tell him how deeply my feelings truly do run for him. What do you think?
