Moments Caught in Tension

When you long for what is already taken.

I carefully stare

to admire your eyes.

I silently listen

to your smooth voice.

We were bound to be beside each other.

Your hellos make my day.

Your smile makes me numb.

In a good way, of course.

But when your eyes met mine,

Just then, do I remember,

You're not mine, you're hers.

So till tomorrow,

forbidden lover.
