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?
