affection void

a lifetime filled with excitement
never knowing what he'll do next
the loving bond they share so apparent
yet his affection hidden below

a day filled with much laughter
another spent bound and gagged
a look right through his baby blues
yet his affection again hidden below

a squeeze and big bear hug
a moment dancing in his arms
a gaze that lets her see his soul
yet his affection still hidden below

then suddenly she lowers her head
and slowly turns to leave
no longer able to bear the pain
of the affection he keeps hidden below

so now it is his moment of truth
when he must stand and decide
does he let her walk out of his life
or share the affection he keeps hidden inside...
