Echoes of a Gaze<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

I wait, heart racing,<\/span>
\nfor the call of your eyes,<\/span>
\nto lose myself in your gaze<\/span>
\neven for a fleeting moment,<\/span>
\na shard of stolen time.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you look at me,<\/span>
\nI feel myself carried away,<\/span>
\nas if the world no longer exists,<\/span>
\nand our bodies speak<\/span>
\nin a quiet language that wraps around us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your gaze becomes my refuge,<\/span>
\na place where I wander<\/span>
\nthrough a forbidden reality,<\/span>
\nso near, yet impossibly far.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am captivated by the sparkle in your eyes,<\/span>
\nthe way you seek me<\/span>
\nwithout fully looking,<\/span>
\nlike a fire held back,<\/span>
\ndancing silently between us.<\/span><\/p>\n

I long to drink the light you shine,<\/span>
\nto feel the warmth of your presence,<\/span>
\nto taste the mystery<\/span>
\nthat stirs deep within me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I only want to read the verses<\/span>
\nhidden in your eyes,<\/span>
\nto hear the melody<\/span>
\nof this restless, secret feeling<\/span>
\nthat grows with each passing heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not love\u2026<\/span>
\nit is passion, attraction,<\/span>
\na fierce flame that leaves me questioning:<\/span>
\nis this the first stirrings of love,<\/span>
\nor just fascination, illusion, desire?<\/span><\/p>\n

I get lost in your eyes,<\/span>
\nfearing the pain that shadows us,<\/span>
\nfor it is forbidden,<\/span>
\na reality that cannot be.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do not know whether to reach out or retreat,<\/span>
\nall I know is I want to keep losing myself<\/span>
\nin your gaze,<\/span>
\ndreaming of a world<\/span>
\nthat does not exist,<\/span>
\neven if only for seconds\u2026<\/span>
\neven knowing afterwards<\/span>
\nit cannot be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecos\u00a0de\u00a0una Mirada<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Espero, con el coraz\u00f3n acelerado,<\/span>
\nel llamado de tus ojos,<\/span>
\nperderme en tu mirada<\/span>
\naunque sea un instante fugaz,<\/span>
\nun fragmento robado del tiempo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuando me miras,<\/span>
\nsiento que me llevas lejos,<\/span>
\ncomo si el mundo dejara de existir,<\/span>
\ny nuestros cuerpos hablaran<\/span>
\nen un lenguaje silencioso que nos envuelve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu mirada se convierte en mi refugio,<\/span>
\nun lugar donde me extrav\u00edo<\/span>
\nen una realidad prohibida,<\/span>
\ntan cerca y, al mismo tiempo, imposible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me cautiva el brillo de tus ojos,<\/span>
\nla forma en que me buscas<\/span>
\nsin mirarme completamente,<\/span>
\ncomo un fuego contenido<\/span>
\nque danza silencioso entre nosotros.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deseo beber la luz que irradias,<\/span>
\nsentir el calor de tu presencia,<\/span>
\nprobar el misterio<\/span>
\nque despiertas en lo m\u00e1s profundo de m\u00ed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solo quiero leer los versos<\/span>
\nescondidos en tus ojos,<\/span>
\nescuchar la melod\u00eda<\/span>
\nde este sentimiento inquieto y secreto<\/span>
\nque crece con cada latido.<\/span><\/p>\n

No es amor\u2026<\/span>
\nes pasi\u00f3n, atracci\u00f3n,<\/span>
\nuna llama intensa que me hace dudar:<\/span>
\n\u00bfser\u00e1n los primeros indicios del amor,<\/span>
\no solo fascinaci\u00f3n, ilusi\u00f3n, deseo?<\/span><\/p>\n

Me pierdo en tus ojos,<\/span>
\ntemiendo el dolor que nos acecha,<\/span>
\npues es algo prohibido,<\/span>
\nuna realidad que no puede ser.<\/span><\/p>\n

No s\u00e9 si avanzar o retroceder,<\/span>
\nsolo s\u00e9 que quiero seguir perdi\u00e9ndome<\/span>
\nen tu mirada,<\/span>
\nso\u00f1ando con un mundo<\/span>
\nque no existe,<\/span>
\naunque sea solo por segundos\u2026<\/span>
\naunque despu\u00e9s recuerde<\/span>
\nque no puede ser.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
