Fallen In Love

I suppose we might have fallen in love,

Only if we were given the chance.

But, fearful of the possibilities,

We didn’t say a thing,

Afraid we’d break this fragile thing of a friendship.

We prance around each other,

Like a curious sword fight,

Unknowingly touching each other’s souls.

Like a magical play,

The revelry astounding.

In this agape,

There is no right or wrong,

Only a rendezvous under the blue moon tonight.

Together, our mask we release;

The paint chips off.

Beautiful as it seems, we daren’t hold it,

Worried it’ll shatter at our briefest touch.

This is our secret,

You and I,

As we hook our pinkies,

Promising promises that will never come true.

Quietly, we shut our wooden doors,

Our footsteps muffled by the soft carpet,

Echoes loudly into the night.

Our stifled laughter reverberates boomingly,

As approaching steps freezes our movements.

We laugh at your foolishness.

Breaths held and clammy hands clutched together,

We’re dancing on the edge of danger.

Adrenaline pouring down our backs,

Exhilaration refreshing our souls.

We don’t care.

Clumsy lips meeting in the dark,

Red faces are all the proof left.

Denying rumors of us en masses,

Our knowing smiles flashes across the tables.

Cocked eyebrows and secret whispers,

Cryptic remarks made in the midst of laughter.

We dance our mystery dance,

Ignoring the watchful eyes.

Dispelling the malicious stories,

We live in our own world;

A bubble you can’t pierce through.

Frustrated, you give up.

It’s our stained ball masquerade

Where you pirouette effortlessly.

Elegance, conspicuous all around us,

Charming the populace to release their inhibitions.

Together we watch from above,

As the waltz plays on,

We mock your imprudence.

Our clothes of diaphanousness,

You are unable to see through our lies.

We daub them with smiles and simpers,

As we pull you on a fool’s trip.

Beguiling you with sweets and enchantments,

You are duped.

With you, I am me.

With me, you are you.

Hand-in-hand we’ll face each day,

Unafraid of hell to pay.

We’ll keep fighting for what’s ours,

Don’t worry, we’re not letting go.
