(NO LOVE)
In spades, our eyes met.
It was a sharp and brief connection.
But it echoed down to the root of my soul like the wailing of a young widow in the deafening silence of the night.
The eyes on me were lifted, and deep darkness hovered over thousands of rushing and clashing thoughts.
Yet, the darkness stood against them from finding expressions:
This is the object of my heartbeat;
The rhythm that nurses me to sleep at night;
The script of my many night's dreams;
Another victim of my hungry soul.
Then, quick lines summarily came to me:
"I love you, I desire you, you may be younger or older but, not minor, it does not matter, join my ship to relate with me in this court."
Yet, I remembered...
I remembered that the only way to keep this feeling evergreen and always living is not to date this love provoker,
This is so that I don't create an Ex out of this sacred feeling.
Better to have this feeling than to tell of... and have an Ex.
