We played a game:

Subtle hints,

Never direct.

Nothing at stake,

Never any care.

Stolen kisses

That meant nothing;

Nights at the pub

All so different.

Walks in the streets,

Hand in hand;

Talking for hours

Feels like there's no end.

Dates at the place

Down the lane;

Feeling at peace

Yet always a torment.

The way you watch me

Wretching my stoic flair;

The way your touch lingers;

There is a change.

A love so impure,

A love so tainted;

With nothing at all,

We've amounted to something.

For nights are sleepless

And when I manage to sleep

You make an appearance;

The way you haunt me

It's something of a mystery.

Our silences have become frustrating,

Cause there's no clarity.

I think we're falling in love

And we can't admit it;

For we are not in control

Of what is happening.

But I do think, that we'll work it out one day,

Like we've always done in the past,

And I know deep down that forever we will last.
