My eyes widen, and I gasp.

Here you are, standing before me

You, for whom I have searched so long…

It pains me, that this wall separates us

That this world separates us

I speak of them

And those

They who would stop us…

Those who frighten us…

The few who know, the few who empathize

Are so far away

So very far away

And your exhilarating beauty!

Gods, it paralyzes me and freezes my breath!

All I can do is stare at you!

Your charm!

Your grace!

Your intoxicating loveliness!

What hurts the most is that all I can do is watch

Because of them

Because of those

Because of all who oppose

And as you look up one last time to gaze into my eyes

Through this shining glass which holds so many lies

I know you’ll be back

You prance off, and you know I’ll be waiting

For you to return
