Unrequited Love

Could this be a good sequel to 'I am Afraid of Love' ? This poem introduces the other person who is madly in love with the person who is afraid of love but cannot find a crack in his armour in order to get their message across. She is full of the anxiety of loving someone but not being able to openly announce it for fear of being rebuffed. What is she going to do?


To love openly without fear
Without guilt or worry
To find him who means everything
Nothing else exists for me.

I look and I see his face
I listen and I hear his voice
I reach out and feel his warm embrace
I kiss and taste his sweet lips
I inhale and smell his heady scent.

To lose yourself in his love
Wishing never to be found
I long to be in his arms
To kiss his soft mouth
To caress his cheeks, neck and back.

I give myself to him
Place my soul at his feet
He is everything to me.
