hurt

I could never hurt you, i know this to be true,

its a lie I've heard too many times, but a real feeling for you,

into my life, you walked, with an ethereal motion,

i looked into your eyes, my pulse raced with emotion.

A story book cliche, love at first sight,

a romantic fiction, used in fables, but it happened this night,

As soon as you came into view i knew,

that all the tales were true,

electricity filled the air, like a charge of static,

a quick glance turned to a stare, my pulse now erratic,

my eyes couldn't leave your face, its beauty being memorised,

each slight shift, a smile, a twitch, left me mesmerised,

A vision etched in my mind,

A glimpse of a world id love to find,

As her gaze caught mine, heart stopped,

as if it flatlined,

But i could never share these feelings,

i am but a lowly man, you are destined for better things,

At least i saw your smile, see i could never hurt you,

you could never hurt me, i had already run a mile.

thanks for reading.
