Sprawled across the maroon waters
Your hair tumbles like the sea foam green waves on the shore
Your chest rises slightly as my head lies on your heart
Boom! Boom! Boom!  It flutters like the wings of a hummingbird that joyfully zooms to and fro
What of the small smile on your face?
So bright yet timid that the buds of a spring flower envy you
My arms encircle your slight frame
They slide into place like a puzzle piece
A sign from the courts you are truly for me

Splash! A tear falls into the puddle of others that have fallen
I can feel your heart beat, so broken
Do you feel the beat of mine that broke for you?
I know you don’t hear it
Sense it
Feel it
I stand with you in the storm
It reflects the pain inside of me as you cry over another
Always second in your life, but always here
The pain will fade
Another will come
You’ll smile and tell me you’re in love
I’ll return your smile while inside I cry until you break again and I blow up
But, here I stay
For, I cannot find the strength to run away

Here we lay
Limbs entangled like that of a tree
Our fingers laced tighter than my DC’s
Your pink lips the envy of a newly opened rose hover gracefully over mine
Your eyes that are bright as a star lead to your soul
Did you know they turn from green to grey in the winter?
You may not like it, but they are gorgeous
Two lonely weeks from the anniversary of the day we met
Here we stay in each other’s arms
After a long, dark-filled wait
All it took was a simple phrase
A smile spreads across my face
And we seal our dreams with a soft kiss as our hands lace
