His Stare

This crush 
Something about him is intriguingly attractive
Is it his gorgeous face or his hard physique that gives me such a rush?
No.
It is what I do not see. 
This irresistible force comes from the mystery that surrounds him. 
Not from the words he speaks, but from his smile to his humbleness to...
His Stare. 

To me, his stare says what he may be afraid to say. 
His stare is clear, but confuses me in so many ways. 
Maybe it’s a type of connection he is trying to make or maybe it is his protection. 
Once, I would desire to see what he sees and know what he thinks when he stares at me.

I wonder if he sees a girl or a woman 
A quiet person or a screaming soul
Just another or a future lover undercover 

He stares as if there is something he does not understand 
He stares as if he wants to figure me out, but is scared. 

If only he knew what I see when I look at him...
I see a determined, motivated, and hard-working soul. 
Someone that cares. 
Someone who is physically and mentally strong...
However, someone who does not see what people see when they look at him.

I wish I had the nerve and the courage to take a chance on this feeling.
I would love to know what goes on in that head of his. 
I would love to show him what he does not see when he stares at me.
I would love to be a part of his world.
But reality sets in...

And all I have is his stare.
