People and not the places...

Maybe

It may not be love

But it is more than just liking

It may not be true

It is still inspiring

You may not even know

What you have provoked in me

By just breathing

Being who you are

Hopefully

Stealthily watching

But I am grateful to you

For what you gave to me

When you were smiling

I would be even more grateful to you

To see you again live

And feel Your embracing

To hold you in my arms

Just for one night

Without hiding

And to talk to you

Without shame and giving

myself to you

Who I am

And not pretending

To be someone else

Who I am not and just lying

To be less than “cool”

Sexy or divvy

Just to be myself

And you still keep me liking

Just to know that your read

All these silly lines

I am writing

Would make me feel content

Happy and smiling

But I have to stop myself

To stop longing

And waiting

And go to bed

With me and myself

And just hoping

To see you one day

Again and waiting

For me

With a smile

That is for me

And for no one else.
