I cannot give you everything
but I can give you all that I have,
all that I am

when you look at me the way you do
I can look back,
allowing my thoughts to pour
from my eyes and
wash over
the gap in between us.
When you read them all one by one
you will not find any lies,
only the secrets behind the ties
that I have woven between yourself and I.

You will feel the warmth of the passion
that we make
and reveal the joy that has erased
the whole of our heartache

There is nothing that I could keep from you
nor anything that would cause my heart,
soul or body to be untrue

At the same time,
there is nothing that I could say,
to express the fiery sentiments within me
that I wake up to everyday

it was nothing
that turned to something
that is now everything

I know that I should not rush
but when you look at me the way you do,
I see the sparkle of a speed demon
always up for a challenge

You are welcome to read my mind
as I know you so often do
for beneath the laughter, blushes and sighs,
it’s incredible how much I really care about you
feel free to ask the when’s and why’s
because there are no lies behind these eyes
