Yours Always

an ode to someone i care about.

You
capture me with
the twinkle in your eyes
that dances as
you read me.
The way
you look at me,
and into me
dazzles.
You read the
story
beneath my eyes
and see
everything,
with just one glance.
Effortless,
but careful.
Strong,
but soft,
your smile
tangles
around the planes
of my face.
I get lost
in you.
Your touch
leaves a
sweet
imprint
on my heart,
a handprint hardened
forever
in the drying cement.
My heartbeat
stops
as my name
trickles
off the tip of
your tongue. 
The sound
of your voice
floats through
the warm, summer air,
and suddenly
I am yours.
Always.
