My Brown Eyed Boy
I love the way you hold me tightly
Squeezing me so close it hurts
Fearing I might crumble if you let go
So you hold on.
You tell me on the daily you love me,
You miss me,
All you want is to be with me....
Do you?
Yes, you do.
I know it, I can feel it.
Can you feel me?
Can you feel my spirit reaching out to you?
Calling your name?
I watch as you approach
Pulling me tight and saying hello
Embracing me in a warm, welcoming hug
Making me melt once more.
With this simple action,
This simple affectionate gesture,
You’ve stripped me of my worries,
Brain-washed me of my sorrows,
And relieved my stresses.
Come hug me again?
Your brown eyes mine of blue
Watching my every move
Reading my emotion as our movie plays out.
One look and you know my loss
My deepest fears
My biggest dreams.
Those big brown eyes
So perfectly dark
Staring deeply into my own.
Eyes that I was told lie
Eyes that are suppose to cheat
Yet eyes that will not.
You reach for my hand and embrace me once more
And I ask of you,
Look at me again?
You stay with me
Because you know I’m scared to leave.
Comforting and protecting,
You remind me I’m strong enough,
I can face what is coming,
Creeping upon me slowly
Stalking me like prey
Until you reach for my head and pull me into a kiss
And my worry washes away.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.
Thank you, you saved me.
From everything.”
“Absolutely babybear.
All I want is to keep you safe.
Just promise me one thing;
Be in my bed every morning when I wake
So I can wake to your beautiful face?”
“One year, and I will forever, I promise...”
