It amazed me, really
The way she glided across the room
Blissfully ignorant of the beauty that reflected in her movements.
 
I found myself captured by the light
That danced across her face
Highlighting her eyes
That mimicked pools of melted chocolate.
 
I can still hear the echoes of her laugh
And her moments of pure joy
That cannot be duplicated
Replicated or Complicated by outside influences
 
I remember staring at the curves of her face as she drove
Memorizing the dips, lines, and scars along caramel colored skin
As well as the ones across a body
That proved to me her strength is immeasurable.
 
Every touch was brand new
Like I’d never been caressed before her.
 
Fingers that drew promises in the crook of my neck
Hands that massaged the arch of my back
Lips that made love to my skin
 
I was loved without words
Brought to tears by actions
Every breath I took against her lips
Filled me with warmth that spread down my veins
And every kiss was a hammer against my carefully constructed walls
That she found to be more of a nuisance rather than a deterrent.
 
I cannot count the ways that I love her
Not even by the stars in the sky nor by the blades of grass in the Earth
But I am eternally grateful to have found a love created just for me.
