Poem - "Love Story"

The userpic messes up the centering of the poem, so I'm just gonna use this space to ramble, lol. I don't want to put my thoughts on the poem here because I don't want to skew anyone's perception before they read it. :)

And watch, I go through all the trouble of figuring out the stupid formatting and it'll still come out messed up on anyone else's screen. *rolls eyes*

"Love Story"
An exchange of shy glances
My heart throbs anytime you come near
Gentle laughter that sets my heart aflight
Tingles that chase my nervousness
We spent so much time together
And wasted just as much apart
Never thinking this forbidden love could be
I finally gave into your smile
And a single whisper made me yours.

An exchange of heated sighs
Hands gliding across glistening skin
Your fingers playing a tune that only we can hear
Passion igniting a rain of kisses
Your breath hitches as you release into me
Riding on your pleasure I do the same
Never thinking this forbidden love could end
I wanted to always see your smile
But in a single moment it all fell apart.

An exchange of angry words
Voices battling to drown the other
Those tears that once betrayed my happiness
Gradually became tears that held my pain
You watched my back as I walked away
Our hearts breaking with the distance
And in the midst of it all there was relief
Never thinking this forbidden love could survive
A single choice was all it took to break.

I wrote this poem after having stumbled across a fanvid on Youtube of this Chinese malexmale couple which happened to have Yiruma's River Flows In You as the background music. So when I wrote this poem I basically had this idea of a gay couple but I think it's applicable to pretty much any type of relationship since there's nothing in it that explicitly says it's a gay relationship.

I really like River Flows In You, btw.
