Does He Know

 In quiet contemplation sit gazing at the candle , the flame dances

Images flicker though my mind as thoughts of him burn through me.

Does he know my inner most desire?

 Can he know that when I dream it's his face I see

His grin teasing and mischievous, reflected in his grey eyes

An embrace  warm and inviting, a comfortable place and yet more

 Can he see the flame that burns in my soul ,

He has heard the whispered I love you,

  I dare not risk what we share now, it is a precious thing

To lose him altogether would be more than I could bare

 Perhaps in time he may  return my affections

But for now I sit in quiet contemplation wondering if he knows the depth of mine ?
