Nearness of You, EverCaptivating [speld decodable readers .txt] 📗

Nearness of You

By the blue-green of your eyes I am captivated

These photos my only window into you

There is a fierce fire burning under my skin as I gaze at you

Secretly, desiring for one chance, one silly moment

I am a fool to hope in vain the way I do, for the nearness of you.

I hope this isn’t love… this obsession of you

I am a thief, I have collected your mannerisms in my mind

I replay the way your lips move when you stand still

The way your fingers never seem to know where to go

Your eyes bedazzle unintentionally when they smolder

The beautiful imperfections in your features

All adding to the loveliness of you


I am a fool to hope in vain the way I do, for the nearness of you

I hope this isn’t love… this compulsion to know you


I play with imaginings of you in my head

How you are when you awaken in the morning

Or what you are like when you struggle with your insecurities

They play like unforgettable songs in my thoughts


I am a fool to hope in vain the way I do, for the nearness of you

I hope this isn’t love… this secret dream of you

We are worlds far apart, firmaments that never touch

I wish space could be moved by thought alone

I would bring you close to me, to know you

To see if you are

real


I am a fool to hope in vain the way I do, for the nearness of you

I hope this isn’t love…
