Through the candlelight I see you
your divine angelic face
adorned with a playful smile
that betrays your wild streak
hidden just under your facade of innocence
My eyes linger on your lips
and my soul burns to kiss them
to move my mouth next to yours
to whisper sweet nothings
to slightly caress your lips with mine
In the darkness the flame flickers
I can see it dancing in your eyes
a bright sliver of fire
reflected in your icy crystal eyes
a mere glimmer of the fire in your soul
a fire that radiates a heat which warms me
Beautiful eyes glowing in the dark
eyes which a tear should never touch
and everytime a tear falls from those eyes
ad rolls down your delicate face
I die a little
I should have stopped that tear
but I did not
and I want to say that I'm sorry
and fall on my knees to ask for forgiveness
for not kissing the tears away
for not wrapping you in my arms
for not being everything you need
The words linger on my tongue
through the candlelight I see your face
your delicate features never cease to amaze me
in your eyes I see that you know
that you know everything I want to say
and I know it is not necessary
my lips open to say them anyway
but they not the words I intended
carefully planned verses never leave my tongue
instead I only manage a faint whisper
"I love you"
and in our eyes I see that you always knew.
