When I look...
“When I look at you
There is always so much to say:
More than any one painting or poem
Could ever convey.
Your freckles map out the constellations
And I lose myself in your eyes.
They are oceans of forgiveness and beauty;
Lovelier than the moon in the sky.
The way your hair falls over your ears
Sends a chill down my spine.
There is no other word I’d rather hear you call me,
Than when you whisper the word ‘mine.’
Your arms are halos of strength
And encircle my every fear.
I will never be lonely or afraid,
As long as you are near.
Your body is poetry,
The way you move is a dance.
I never dreamed in a million years
You’d ever give me the chance.
Your legs are a river
That twists and turns in the best of ways.
Your feet always find their way home
To me at the end of every day.
When I look at you
It’s to your heart I’ll always cling.
For when I look at you
I see a little of everything...”
