Longing - Poem from "The Silent Darkness" by Lisa M. Bello

I stare at him
I want him so bad.
See his hair and eyes shining. Got to have his lips on mine.
He stares back..
I look away afraid.
But I still want him.
Smiles creep across our faces.
"What?" he says. "Nothing" I say. I know he knows.
I don't have to say anything.
I touch his warm face.
I'm filled with happiness.
He laughs when I say he's beautiful.
It's so true, weather or not he believes me. He has the kind of beauty I don't.
I don't have beauty at all.
