All I Wish

Let me look at you —

not just glance,

but drink in every detail

like a secret I've waited a lifetime to know.

Let me be near you,

no words, no reasons —

just your presence

like a quiet flame beside mine.

All I truly want

is to whisper this truth:

You are beautiful.

Before the world calls it a sin

to love this deeply,

or the stars burn out,

and

time runs out on us.
