Te Amo

Te Amo

Her hair blew wild in the cool winter’s wind
The memory of her swept my mind once again
The stars resembled her sparkly eyes
Blue as the oceans and clear summer skies

“Te Amo,” she whispered, she breathed in my ear
While holding my hand, her body near

She was tall, slim, of Spanish descent
Her skin tone of cream and the odor of mint
I stared, transfixed, in her blue tinted eyes
Blue as the oceans and clear summer skies

Her lips dipped in red, ‘round her eyes painted black
The face of perfection and faults that she lacked
Closer she came as our lips collide
Kissing, embracing, our love frozen in time

“Te Amo,” she whispered, she breathed in my ear
While holding my hand, her body near

She left in my arms that very same night
After watching the sunrise and kissed in its light
“Te Amo,” these words repeat in my head
“I love you, I love you,” the last words she said.

“I love you,” I whispered as tears filled my eyes
Softly I kissed her, and sat there, and cried
