It Is Not Easy

it is not easy to pretend that i am
not looking, and you know that when you

take fast glances at me
and i am caught redhanded

filled with desire
the way my hair sways gently

my eyes take some passes
when you catch me

with your quicker looks
i nod down pretending

that i am writing a letter of my own
to a friends miles and miles away

it is not easy for me to think
that you understand all these

longings of touching
and kissing

it is not easy to be a part of you
your past and my past

meeting and knowing very well
the fallen parts

and yet still too weak to pick
them all and give

the picture, the whole,
the real one, the one that shows

the falling of tears
the hands that wipe them

and the silence that comes
after
