Beautiful One I

You are beautiful, an adonis, a god
Yet you seem untouchable to me
In your eyes, I see... deepness, a secret
You are more than you seem on the outside
I'd give anything to have the courage
To approach you, to enter your life
To be in on the secret
But I don't believe you'd ever give me
The time of day, a chance
Because of all the mistakes I have made
I have grown, I have changed
But all refuse to see it
Would you see it?  Would you care?
You weren't here then, when I ruined myself
Could you see beyond my past?
Should I make a chance, and take it?
Or should I stay in the wings,
Watch from afar
When we make eye contact
When we connect for a split second
There is a spark, a hope?
Is that what I see?  Or do I make too much
Of a glance, of nothing
How will I ever know, if I don't go
If I don't look once more,
Just to be sure
Maybe say a word
How could I ever know without
Will I ever know your touch?
You
The adonis, the god, the beautiful one
