Hidden Love Poem by Jhane Reyes

How can I forget that momentous summer?
A season when my eyes get shimmer
In every fleet glance give with primmer
But when you’re near I become stammer

I’m yearning for your affection
‘Coz mine is not just infatuation
I can’t control this strong emotion
And nothing can efface my great devotion

But I’m so afraid to show my feeling
Shunning in your presence is just pretending
In my sleepless night I’m reminiscing
Of your memories that keep on chasing

A covert fondness outgrew inside
Should I reveal or suppress and hide?
Just to save my foolish pride
Willing to face a woe betide
