In Innocence

Dunno what's it about
You that makes
Me smile the way
I do.

Enchanting, indeed.
Alluring, indeed.

Is it the
Mystery? Or the
Secrecy? Or maybe there's a
Quiet web in you I don't really understand

You make me wonder. I wonder more
Whether he smiles at
You the way
I do.

Whether he is
He.

Or do I stand a chance, a chance
to chase
chance-chiseled creation --
a chance that might just slip me by

I hope not, for
You, for
Me.
I hope, it's meant
To be.
