She

I watch as she swims the length of the pool
Her lithe body moving gracefully
Long legs kicking in rhythm
I admire her strength
She has become my friend
We talk about life and it's perils
I haven't yet told her about my past
But I will, I have to
I am feeling so confused inside right now
Like I am beginning to awake from a dream
Ever since she reached out her hand
And touched my scarred and twisted cheek
The look in her eyes at that moment
Almost tore my heart in two
I can't believe what is happening to me
I think I am falling in love....
