Day 10 Of 12 Days Of Romance. A Celebration On Day 12.

Knowing

no one knows you the way I do
they haven’t seen the vulnerable
side of you, the part capable of such
deep, complete love, gentle devotion
or the strong man who can’t hold back
his tears at sad times of goodbye

no one but me has ever seen the look
of all-consuming love in your eyes
or heard the beauty of your sighs
long into mornings’ candlelit nights
no one has ever known you like I do
you have never been loved this way

it’s regrettable we’ve lived a lifetime
never being known for who we are
hidden behind our necessary walls
but there are no walls between us
no place we would want to hide
except in each others hearts
