Wanting you is not

Wanting you is not
waiting through(with all anticipation)
dusks, days, and dim,
(and the colors of light) until your sweet scent,
that veils in your hair,
caresses my cheeks.

Waiting for you isn't
looking, loving, or lying.
for one such as I cannot wait,
and a touch such as yours is to be left.
I seek it. I feel it.
But how does one see?

Seeing your heart
(with all its secrets
its beauties, and imperfections)
is not lying.
for even with absence of words
it will always see mine in return.
with a look from those brown gems
it can steal the truth it deserves.

How does one want?
How does one see?
How does one feel?
How do I look for your heart,
the thing I always wanted?

With the word it deserves the most:
Truth.
