Mouth Sealed, Never Healed

I think I may miss you

without knowing you at all.

Your smile pierced my soul

and I knew then I'd fall.

I don't even know you

but yet your aura shines.

You could brighten my darkness

if you'd only take the time.

Maybe if I took the time,

I could make you all mine.

But wait, darling, I don't

want to make you all mine.

I don't want to possess you,

take your liberty, and confine.

I just want our spirits to intertwine.

But I let you walk away moments

after you smiled my way.

Now I can't help but think

about you with each new day.

And it's my fault I miss you,

I kept my mouth sealed.

Now this wound I'm left with,

this achy desire,

may never be healed.

I miss you.

But I don't know you.

But I want to.

Forever more.
