Hushed laughter in quaint ice cream parlors
The way that striped shirt rested
In the curve of your shoulders
Glances exchanged
And nervousness exhaled
We knew each other for a year
And it took all those months of nothing
To finally find our secret garden of somethings
Riding through quiet lanes
Sharing infinities without even realizing
You came out of nowhere and my world changed
With your shy smile and quick wit
Your warm hands and full heart
You understood me
And I, you
Our souls danced in the darkness
And our hearts tied themselves into a dream
Our love so forbidden
The world did not understand
Judgmental eyes
And disapproving anger
They will never get it
What you do to me
What I feel when I'm with you
My most beautiful mistake
That secret sin
My comfort now lies
In 20 days of every memory we made
Soft kisses
And hidden love bites
Old Monk in our veins
We drowned in love
And I came back to life
Every time the phone rang
And I again found solace
In the calm of your voice
And the way you said my name
Or spoke of our future
I miss you now
And I wish our story was understood
I wish they didn't care
And I wish they saw you the way I do
But if ever
In a different time
Under different circumstances
Our story can still be told with truth
And with the love it deserves
I hope you will still knock on my door
And I hope against all odds
When that day comes,
They welcome you with arms of joy
And the grace to know that you are mine.
Dilz
