...my gorgeous prince...

boy's back
so is brother
both are good
but
boy is still
achingly gorgeous
and i am
still too shy
if i were not
myself
i would launch
across the room
into his arms
and yell
hello, gorgey
but i am myself
and am stuck
inside this shell
and so i sit
and watch
from behind my hair
and beneath
my eyelashes
and dream
of a day
that will
never
come.
