(Girl)

I catch you staring at me even when you attempt to move your eyes. Failing because I caught you. However, I can’t help it because I do the same. Looking at one another a minute too long. Watching one another’s movements as if our lives depend on it. Mesmerized by one another. It’s wrong and we shouldn’t. If someone were to notice, it would end up badly. How can you tell your girlfriend there is someone else… That the person you speak about is the daughter of your kingdoms enemy. How do I explain to my family that I can’t help but notice the rivaling familys son a little more than I should. 

It’s wrong. I will not dive into my desires as you shouldn’t. Perhaps if we would have been born into a different lifestyle. It would all be different but it’s not and I refuse to bring misery and chaos to something that may not even last…

(Boy)

I can’t help but notice her. She glows amongst the crowd. She is effortlessly amusing and intriguing. There’s some force that pulls me towards her. It’s wrong I know. I’m being pulled by the wrong person. However, I can’t help my gaze moving towards her direction. I do it unconsciously. It’s like an instinct. Although I know she feels the pull too. When our eyes meet and we both look away knowing this shouldn’t be happening. If only this would have been different. If only we would have been born in a different lifestyle. If only we would have stumbled paths differently. We wouldn’t be in this situation. Although I know she would never want to do something. That this pull is only going to stay a pull. That whatever this is that’s going on can’t happen and we both would be helping one another if we just stopped. A piece of me doesn’t want to let go yet. If a gaze is all I can get than a gaze is what I need.
