When your eyes are closed Tell me what do you see Or will you feel exposed To admit it’s always me

I feel you on my skin; my shielded veneer Like the sand encircles the ocean You envelope all my essence Captivating me with each and every wave like the tide taking back its water You pull me to your loving embrace Shaking all the sea glass off my frame Our silhouettes tap dancing with desire The moon over the salty air looms Showing my favorite shades of love Then your eyes held onto mine & a star shot across the sky Asking for a wish to be made I desired to see my fate I asked the seashells for a depiction But instead they whispered all they knew My life begins with you.

“But something in me recognized something in you, like our hearts whispered a secret the moment we met. I knew, without understanding how, that every step of my life had been leading me to you.”
