This is an epiphany of emotions long suppressed

Of actions much undone yet unsaid

First time I saw you

A revelation

Your smile illuminated the room

Your voice, water rushing over pebbles

Your skin, a shade of cream

All this came to detail

Or maybe it’s the smitten me reminiscing?

Do you think she knows?

How totally smitten I am

How her soft hand feels supple in mine

How her smile shines on the deepest depths

Of my scarred heart

Do you think she knows?

How I look into her eyes

And see nothing more beautiful?

Do you think she knows?

The frequent times we walked nights

I cherished nothing more

Than being in the moment

The few times we met at the river

The brush of her voice on my ears

Over the gurgling stream of water

Floated me to worlds away

where nothing less

perfection existed?

First time I kissed you

Your lips resting on mine

And mine on yours

A moment filled with sugar and bliss

A moment that may be repeated many times

Yet it still brings a smile to my face over and over again

And nonetheless, a moment always cherished.

Does she know?

For two years I didn’t speak to her

My nights were long

Arduous to see morning light

My thoughts always revolving

On her memories and voice

Does she know ?

When she finally called

Everything faded away

And I was left in trance like

State of happiness

Listening to her voice

In the middle of a dusty road

I want to be the smile that lightens your face

I want to be the healer that

Alleviates your pain

I want to be your hands when you say the grace

All I want to do is stand close by you

Build an empire with you

All I want

Is

To have you in my life

I
