My One True Love

Written June 6, 2016.

Those eyes

Deep and sullen like the forest on a rainy day

The ones that glisten when the sunlight hits them just right

When you pull me close and gaze into mine

And I feel the breath leave my lungs

It's only you

Those lips

Soft and alluring, whispering my name in moonlit darkness

The ones pursed around a Marlboro Red as we cruise downtown

And you turn to me and say, "I love you"

I knew in that moment

I would never be the same

Those hands

Gentle but strong, warm to the touch, caress me under Sunday's bedsheets

The ones that dance gracefully along piano keys like a midday summer breeze

Our fingers laced together, butterflies in my stomach

And I wonder why you picked me

But I'm glad that you did

Because I know these things for sure

Across a room full of strangers

My eyes will always search for you

Before each morning sunrise

My lips will always crave your kiss

Whenever I need reassurance

My hand will always reach for yours

You are my one true love
