I can’t stop staring at you.

Your unearthly glow, that sparkle in your eyes-

The way your wispy hair dances to the sway of the wind.

Everything about you is just so beautiful.

There’s a sort of intimacy between me and you,

One that I can’t seem to describe with words alone.

Seconds, minutes, even hours go by–but I don’t take my eyes off of you.

Are you trying to tell me something?

Or, do you want me to share secrets of my own?

 

Your presence feels like a warm embrace.

You assure me that this is a safe place.

You say, “Let them go, all your worries. I’ll take care of them.”

Hot tears fall from my eyes.

I am finally free from all those agonizing lies.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

And when I open them, I smile.
