Tears wiped fervishly from my eyes Not by my own small fingers But by a tan and rough hand My chin drawn up by the same hand Eyelids open unwillingly But my gaze is met instantly By two pieces of the clear sky Framed in your face That hand moves from my chin Caresses my jawline Continues down through my tangled curls And comes to rest on my shoulder blade And I am drawn into you By powerful arms And my cheek feels at home Rested against your chest Warm lips are pressed to my forehead And I hear your whisper "I love you." |
