In a room full of people,
You were the only one I saw.
And that was it-
I was done in.
If I dream in colors at night,
It’s only because of you,
And I’ll see you soon,
It’s only a matter of time.
If you only knew,
The beauty I saw everyday in you.
It was the moment I began to fall,
When I saw...
It wasn’t just masked under the charm of a painted face.
You were still there,
Beneath it all...
Lying there under the rising of the full blue moon.
Saying farewell to the day,
Watching its dying rays on your face,
Kiss you goodbye...
Showing how fast my heart could race,
And how easy you are to bruise.
Just like the doves hanging in the corner of your resting place,
Keeping watch over every breath you drew.
I should’ve been more careful,
For each smile that I gave to you.
For each silence our sweet lips have rendered,
I just have to remember,
I’ll see you soon...
Very moving Mariah, this is one of those special pieces that put the reader right into the lover's heart to feel what she is feeling. Well done and gripping.
Love,
