In Love With You Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Again and again
I tried to look away
To ignore your beautiful eyes
And your succulent lips
I lied to myself
That I will not look back
And see your radiant skin
Glistering in the sun
I kept quiet
When wild thoughts crossed my mind
Begging me to talk to you
And tell you how much I feel
I was frozen inside my world
And nothing could defrost me
Except your love
I wanted to see you
To be with you
And to hold you
To caress you
And kiss you
I was like a fire
Begging the wind to blow
I was admitted
In the hospital
Of my own fantasy
I could not break free
And tell you that I love you
I was afraid
You will look away
And walk away
Never to be seen again
