Even if I never kissed you.

If you never leaned over and I never misread.

If you never took that chance,

Never kissed back.

 

Even if you never “saw” me,

Never shared your thoughts,

If you never gave a glint

Never gave a hint.

 

Even if you never told your truth.

If you would have never related,

Never been honest with me about your heart.

If you didn’t show love.

 

I would still know.

Hearing your heartbeat through your words.

Smelling your sugar in silence.

Yours would be the sweetest rejection required.

A feast I’d be forced to swallow.
