With the voice of eloquence
and precisely placed poetry
she asked her love to be
a being of stability.

However, I longed to be
the one she looked too to see
love’s gentle eyes reaffirming
turning life’s truths
into reassuring simplicity
making a promise that I
could never really guarantee.

It is a good thing she did not look to me
cause all I could promise her
is this moment in eternity
all I could give her is my passion
and gentle but attentive curiosity.
