My Hands Reached For You Unknowingly Poem by Danny D

When I walked into the building;
I didn’t think I will get to see you
While I was driving up there;
I didn’t think I will get a chance to see you.
But in the morning when I dressed up;
I unknowingly put on the shirt you liked most.
Unknowingly I hoped and prayed I see you.
And then when I reached there.
My eyes kept searching for you;
Even though I didn’t think I will see you.
But like someone read my heart deepest desires
As if a higher force was pulling the strings.
You walked in late and walked into me.
I didn’t think you will look at me
I thought you will walk past me
And pretend you don’t even know me.
But you spotted me straightaway.
Even while talking to somebody else
Your eyes searched for mine and you smiled.
You came close, stood near and at me you looked.
You did much more than just look.
You gazed; gazed deep into my eyes.
I felt you could see the pain living in my eyes.
You looked again into my eyes deeper.
I knew that you knew the hurt and pain;
Of us being ripped apart so brutally.
My hands reached for you unknowingly.
My heart must have longed to touch you so badly.
I don’t know why and I will never ask why
For you didn’t hold your hands back
Instead you slowly stretched it to me.
Maybe you knew how much I wanted it.
Maybe a part of you still belonged to me.
Maybe your soul heard the silent cries of my soul.
And couldn’t bear to hold back.
Maybe a part of us unknowingly remembered
The love we had for each other.
Whatever it might be;
Into my hands you laid yours.
And it felt like heaven once again.
I wished I held it tight and never let go.
I wished you stayed and never leave.
But then you drew you hands and walked away.
I watched while every part of me was breaking down.
But to you I wanted to say thanks;
For showing me compassion and not spite.
For not turning your face away.
And I wanted to say, I love you and always will.
