behind your genuine appearance you hide,
a stylish, sophisticated walk of elegance projects
the need to turn a head or two;
caring, giving, and sincere without a doubt,
an enticing smile shields the innocent loneliness
that you have protected all these years;
soft-spoken thoroughness is the trademark
on which you have built your reputation;
a large circle of friends help you blot out the pain,
alter egos seen in others, by your side stand as well
while you play the role of a transplanted NY model;
naked, you stand before me, vulnerable but without shame
as I stand before you in the same way;
our joined perceived flaws and insecurities
voluntarily intertwine, connecting us like lovers,
who have been denied a lifetime;
our paralyzed attraction freezes us in time,
our layers removed, not sure of what we'll find.
