I lie awake instead of sleeping; everyone knows that. What I've never admitted aloud is why. I lie there dreaming of you.

In work I can cope, hide my feelings, I've done it for years. The sight of you distracts me, but work focuses me again. Being close to you without touching you hurts, but it is better than not being with you.

I always know what you are doing if you are near me, but you don't know how I feel. You feel safe with around me in a way that you never would with a man who felt like this. Perhaps gaydar exists, if it does, you don't have it.

But alone in bed I yearn to feel you, to know you better. Just one touch on your face would be enough to satisfy me. Like you, your face must remain untouched.
