Mist of an Iris

Nevermind your cherry lips

And chocolate locks.

I always get lost in the mist

Of your grey, ethereal eyes.

I will love you shyly, coyly,

I will adore you from afar.

But we will never touch,

So you will never know.

I will try to protect you,

I will be strong when I want

To be weak, for you.

And you will hate me for it.

You will not cry,

But I will, and I will regret it,

Because my last look at you

Will be blurred with tears.

I will not see how,

Slowly, everything you loved in me

Faded into the mist

Of your grey, ethereal eyes.

Secret love and untold love. Give us more pain than the heartbreak of love. Better to attempt love than to wished you did.

So you will never know."

I don't know the history, but you are either really good at painting a picture, or this is a really deep bearing of your heart...either way, an amazing write well worth the read. I love that you can be weak as well as strong.
