A Choice

If I laid next to you, I would watch you rest.
See your beautiful eyes close and your breathing relax.
The features of your structured face,
From the brow bone to your chin,
I would trace my finger across your lips.
If you could hear my thoughts your lips may move into a smile,
A heavy dose of lust overwhelms
And wraps us both in the arms of each other.

I hold your hand as we walk away,
A quietness surrounds us as we grin through our thoughts,
Grabbing onto one another through gestures of romance and bliss.
One smile shared between us
No words needed to understand the meaning.

When my day grew cloudy, your eyes made the world brighter.
When the feelings grew sour, your hand took away the pain.
Sitting here wondering when I can lay with you again,
Wondering when you will learn all about me,
And when you will give yourself a chance.
Muster up the courage to let the happiness overwhelm you,
Embrace the beauty that was and discover what could be.

Don't let it slip away.
Don't walk away from me, from this, from everything that is good.
Life is too short for short breaths of happiness.
Life deserves long nights and understood feelings.
But to let it all fall away,
All that could be and all that started,
You choose to lose and never gain,
Something so pure and free.
