from, nobody

***no rhymes, intended this as an anonymous letter***

i know you don't know me. though there were times when
i've been close to you, i doubt if you even noticed me.
i'm the guy who can't take his eyes of you, who gets
breathless when you flash that pretty smile of yours.

i just want you to know how beautiful i find you with
those eyes that seem to be two stars trying to
outsparkle each other that for every new glimpse i
have of them, they're more beautiful than what i
recall them to be. they draw my own eyes like sirens
draw sailors, irresistable like that force that calls
countless of birds and prompts them to migrate whenever
winter nears.

so too is your smile. only a perfect sunset can ever
come close in comparison, one that manifests itself on
a sky with a score or so of cumulus clouds, the still
waters of a bright blue sea, and the sun half submerge
over the horizon, blazing hot crimson, tainting the
clouds to look like mountains on fire, spreading a
blanket of red over the bluish sea and sky. the end
result, a painting unmatched by masters, a unique
phenomena a shade away from that level of beauty that
you always muster just by flashing your smile.

well, i've never seen a real angel, but if what was
written about them were true, then i've been seeing one
almost everyday, so close yet so very far away. maybe
it's just my broken heart, maybe it's just my need to
believe in beauty after all the rubbish i've been
exposed to, maybe it's just my imagination, pretending
someone could be more beautiful than her who broke my
heart, and believing. whatever, i just want you to know
how very beautiful i find you.
