When love is obvious to everybody except the two people it concerns

His smile resonates

Echoing through her heart

Unbeknownst to her mind

Friendship

A catalyst for love

Brewing

Smoldering

In passions heat

Treasured memories

She does keep

Momentarily

Before setting them free

Easy conversations cease

As she becomes aware

That this is love that is blooming

Afraid he will see right through her

Avoids him

Driving him farther away

Hurting him

She tries ignoring his pain

Until her emotions spill

Carelessly into the open air

Silently he receives them

And answers

With a gentle kiss
