Us
I can see your smile,
Through the strands of your hair.
Like summer sunshine seeping through branches of a tree.
I can hold your gaze,
With its endless affection piercing my core,
showing all that I am without my mask.
I could take a million pictures of you,
Yet never capture,
The way I see you through my own eyes.
I want to dance with you,
To nothing but the ambient sounds
Of traffic on the streets.
I often walk beside you,
And our intimate silence
Holds the magic of endless conversations.
I linger patiently,
For the warm moments of your embrace.
Melting away the cold shackles of my heart.
Of all the things I didn’t say
But later remembered,
You should know I always meant the best for you.
And now,
As the lonely off note keys
Plays out into the streets.
Can you feel my smile,
as I sit here next to you?
