Smile

Every time that I look at you,
I become speechless.
All I can do is stare,
Peering into your timeless beauty,
Wondering how you could ever
See the same thing in me,
As I watch you smile
And stare at me, too.
It makes me feel complete
Knowing that we fit each other
Perfectly.
Then we kiss,
And we sink into each others arms
Melding into one,
I know that there could never be
Anything
That could elevate me so,
Encompass me,
Enthrall me,
Or give me the feeling
Of paradise more
Than being there.
We pull away softly,
And I see that your smile
Has become more,
An acknowledgement of love,
I know because my heart
Yearns for you even more.
These 5 seconds
Seem like a lifetime
And last longer
As the feelings
And sensations,
Become permanently etched
In my memory,
So that even these petty words
Can move me
To love you
And feel you,
Even when you are not here.
That makes me smile,
And now you are smiling, too.
