i hope

its so close
i can see it
feel it
almost reach out and touch it
yet what i crave is not yet mine.

its almost painful
i am within earshot
yet i must make my voice a whisper
when i tell you i love you
for fear that you may hear me
and run.

so delicately
must this be handled
for something so extremely fragile
is easily broken
if not held carefully

i wish i knew where i stood
i wish you'd tell me how you feel
am i holding hopes
on something i'm not allowed to have?
