Permitted Love

Not across a crowded room,
Or at a smoke filled bar.
Our eyes meet several times each day,
She notices I think, but can't be sure.

I worship every move she makes,
Every flick of flame red hair.
The slightest touch whilst brushing past,
A suggestive look, the briefest stare.

A smile with glistening emerald eyes,
Leaves armour stripped and guarded actions bold.
Or tears, like salty daggers bared,
Shred my hollow, worthless soul.

And so, I am entrusted
To guard this precious heart.
For this love of mine's eternal,
Not just 'till death us part.
