By Megan McDonald
I sense you.
Your unearthly body roams throughout my existence like a flickering candle.
 
Once in a while,
Your guard will slip.
 
I will catch a hazy glimpse of your face before you have time to run.
 Trick of the light you say?
 
Unlikely.
 
The world doesn`t believe in you.
Doesn`t know you like I do.
Why must you hide from me?
 
You are my life.
I have searched endlessly for you
Obtaining an unsurpassable feeling of love and joy when you are near.
 
My heart cries for you�
I would die for you�
So why do you run?
Why must you always exist only on the very edge of my line of vision
Constantly surrounding me with the love I crave�but careful to keep out of sight�?
 
Maybe you`re afraid.
Afraid of what it might mean if we were together.
 
Perhaps you`ve become consumed by your fear.
You love me so much,
Yet you can`t touch me.
 You can`t hold me.
Because your paranoia will not allow you to.
 
You can not surpass it yet.
I know.
 
 
I will wait.
