Background Love
I admire you.
Your eyes, your lips, your hair.
The way your eyes shine when you’re passionate,
or the way your lips turn up into a smile,
so charming it’s alarming.
I admire your walk, as you seem so free.
Your wonder, that awes everyone around.
I see you with others, as you talk so sweetly,
and so calm, I wish it was me.
But I’m only in the background.
Never close enough for you to notice.
I admire from afar,
because I’m only in the background,
loving you from behind the curtain.
