Mamihlapinatapai

Do you notice how you make me feel?
How the words come stuttering out of my lips
everytime I hear or speak your name?
Or how goosebumps appear across my skin
everytime it anticipates your touch?
Do you even notice how my pupils dilate
everytime it catches your gaze?
How can I show you what I truly feel?
If everytime something of you -
your touch, your voice or even just a thought of you -
suddenly comes too close,
my mouth closes up 

even if in my mind, 
all of me screams out for you.

MAMIHLAPINATAPAI  
Yamana (Tierra del Fuego), noun
~ the wordless, yet meaningful look
shared by two people 
who both desire to initiate something 
but are both reluctant to start.
