Hesitation

Some days you just realize what you've been missing was right under your nose. And some days you realize why things never materialized. And most of the time you have to walk farther away from something to see its entirety. I'm confusing you now, aren't I? :)

***

Sometimes you make me confused

And sometimes I'm sure of you

A distance to keep at bay

The looming games that come with fate

We bond, we fight, we've shared our lives

But never too close to see inside

For danger comes when loves resides

Between two hearts cloaked in denial

Somehow it happened

Somewhere down the line

I saw you in a different light

But shame on me, I'll take a while

To admit to my desire

And shame on you for being nice

Were you unknowing all the while?

Or just blew smoke to fog your eyes

And hide the truth behind a lie?

Sometimes it happens, sometimes it won't

Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't

But you and I, we're parallel lines

We'll never meet though side by side

I'll never say, you'll never know

You'll never try, and you'll let me go

But in those short moments when we spoke

Our eyes will say what our hearts won't

Years from now when we look back

On feelings swept under the mat

Those days on history be inscribed

Two lives too wary to entwine
