Blue

                                                  BLUE

I want to reach up and brush the hair and sadness from your eyes.
When they are clear and dancing they are beautiful, but full of shadows they are heartbreaking.
You are so strong and fragile at the same time.
I am torn between wanting to hold you and wanting to be held.
My instinct is to protect you from pain that might change you.
I want to take your heart and hold it carefully in my hands until it is safe to set it free.
Safe for you to love and be loved.
Until your blue eyes shine clear with the light from your heart.
