The Lightning
I see you. I see the light in your eyes, the dark earth and blue skies, that softly kiss your cheek.
I touch you. I touch the side of your face, your hand, our fingers embrace, pulling you close.
I hold you. I hold you in the dark, the rhythm and the spark that makes Us one and all we have is this time together in our little world.
I walk with you. We walk stride by stride, burning down from within to the tall hills surrounding our hearts.
I taste you. Your lips are like warm rain falling in the high desert of my pain that I didn't even know I had.
I love you. Like thunder from the sky, without warning, without knowing why.
The lightning strikes my soul, but this feeling leaves me cold, for I know that you will always be a part of me, but you're not mine.
