Campout

The sunlight fell upon your face
My heart- it skipped a beat...
Your fiery hair
Your boyish grin
My Lord, you looked so sweet!

I wanted then to touch you...
To hold your hand in mine,
Or wrap my arms
Around your waist;
To hold you- bliss divine!

But then you turned away from me,
The moment passed away.
You left me there,
All unaware,
That pain then ruled my day.

No further words were spoken...
It's as if I wasn't there.
Don't turn away!
Don't shut me out!
But I plead to only air...
