Just Friends

I watch you from the corner of my eye

Your silhouette engraved in my mind

You are beautiful

A swift and ferocious grace, you cover behind that timid face

Ah but your hands, your hands give you away

Lethal, precise and sure

You draw your sword, point your arrow

Your aim certain and true, a warrior's armour befits you

You stand like one of noble birth

Like a diamond in the dirt, 

you try so hard to hide your worth

And I try to pretend I don't see you in such a light

But these feelings I tuck away for another day,

another life, in which I might tell you these things.
