Love is the lie that keeps us alive. Never did I expect, Nor did I deserve, To see the smile that lights up your face, And the glimmer in your eyes, A billion constellations, The hardest of goodbyes, With love that stretches far, Winds like a river, Reaches to the stars. You were the light in my darkest day, The voice I heard inside, Guiding me to safety, Away from evil eyes, Time halted when I was with you, Frozen by command, In my world you were a desert, I a grain of sand. Never did I expect, Nor did I deserve, A love like this, Your touch, your kiss, To get me through hardest times, I hoped that I could keep you happy With this love of mine. - A very raw and personal poem I wrote for someone during a relationship. Re visited now that it is over.
