Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939, translated from French by Lewis Galantière

The tingles I feel
The tears I cry
The scent I smell
Your words; good-bye

Everything draws me to you
There's only one explanation
I thought you felt it too
Here comes the frustration

I'm lost
I'm confused
I feel dead
Because of you

Love must always have a reciprocal
I thought you were the one
I guess I was wrong about you

I heard of another girl
And now I'm scared

I'm scared to see your face
To hear your voice
Because I know once I do
I'll fall, yet again, for you.

most of the poems on here are so-so, but i really went "oh, that's good" at the end of each stanza. :) beautiful.
