The lyrics that escaped from my boyfriend’s lips carried my soul to a place that I have never visited before. A place where present, past and future had ceased to exist, where day and night melted into one and love lasts forever – the way it used to.
I had to admit to myself, whilst lost in this perfect moment… I was scared, scared of the tears that might trickle from another broken heart. I wrapped my arms around his body, pressing mine hard against his, trying to force back the tears that started to pearl in my eyes.
I never want to lose him! I thought to myself, with past perfect moments bombarding my consciousness. How could you feel this way about a man you’d know for a short while? I started to doubt myself, fearing my emotions just to be teenage hormone trickery.
The air ran cold with fear and confusion – and he could feel it too. I was back in his arms, away from the perfect reality, back in a safe yet uncertain place.
I had only noticed that he had stop singing when his heartbeat was the only sound filling the silent void that had claimed the room. As if by reflex I lift my head from his chest and looked up, only to meet the eyes of my lover. Eyes that were absent with the emotions I had dwelled in them before…something new had taken their place.
“I never noticed that you actually have very striking blue eyes” I said with a smile and cheeks burning.
He faked a gasp and said “You only noticed that now!” rounding it off with a low chuckle.
“So what color are my eyes?” I asked with a shy smile, immediately looking away.
“They’re the most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen, with a green lining around the pupil…” I turned to face him as he continued to speak “…and you have cute spot on your left shoulder that kind of reminds me of a four leave clover and two scars on your lower back, one smaller than the other…and let’s not forget your adorable dimples.” He said, leaning forward to kiss my cheek.
When he pulled back to face me, he ended off by saying one last thing “I noticed these things because…I love you and…” I noticed a faint crackle in his voice “…I can honestly say that I have never loved anyone this much before.” He leaned forward to softly kiss my lips
The tears I so difficulty blinked away before was now streaming down my face and I knew at that moment that I would never have to fear again.
Lonely Winter Days
By Edward Winter
As I listen to the sound
Of angel tears striking the ground
I start to miss your warm embrace
Longing for the loving smile on your gentle face
Days and nights without you seems like a tragedy
Because I can’t feel your heart beating next to me
Lost in these gloomy winter days, wondering when it will be
The day to come when your heartfelt eyes I get to see
Finding myself staring at the door
Hoping to heed your footsteps on the floor
But all I hear is opaque skies
Keeping the time of you arrival in disguise
How I wish that you were near
So that my declaration you could hear
I will always love you
A vow I will eternally bear true
Even though you know this off by heart
Seeing that mine is with you no matter how far apart
I pray these lines will remind you
Of the devotion that binds us two
Now I end this poem
Making the truth I clutch known
Tomorrow I will see you once more
Hearing your footsteps and seeing you walk through that lonely door
