i still remember

the first time we met;

your eyes locking with mine

in a crowded room and

it felt like waves

crashing against a rock.

at that moment

i knew i was falling for you;

falling and drowning

in those

dark, caramel colored eyes.

the first time

your fingertips grazed my skin;

i still remember that.

it felt like a thousand butterflies

unfolding their graceful wings

against my skin.

when you painted my lips

with the truth in yours, i felt

the broken pieces of my heart

glueing itself;

and my world felt whole again.

the words you whispered

into my ears;

i hadn't anticipated them. your

words mixed with my silences, those

gentle words were mine

and mine alone.

we are meant to be;

an unwritten and unspoken destiny,

we live in silence. the words

uttered are for us to hear.

i am yours and you are mine, with

heads bowed, i submit myself

to your love.

you; to me, there is only you.

my words, my silences,

my deepest desires, my happiness

and my anguish, my flesh

and my passions; they all begin

and end with you.

our flesh may wither away, and

we may become dust,

but our souls will remain together.

this love of ours is immortal,

and we will drown in one another

for an eternity.
