letters to no one ➳ [poetry]

➳ shades of love

i still remember
the first time we met;
your eyes locking with mine
in a crowded room and
it felt like waves
crashing against a rock.

at that moment
i knew i was falling for you;
falling and drowning
in those
dark, caramel colored eyes.

the first time
your fingertips grazed my skin;
i still remember that.
it felt like a thousand butterflies
unfolding their graceful wings
against my skin.

when you painted my lips
with the truth in yours, i felt
the broken pieces of my heart
glueing itself;
and my world felt whole again.

the words you whispered
into my ears;
i hadn't anticipated them. your
words mixed with my silences, those
gentle words were mine
and mine alone.

we are meant to be;
an unwritten and unspoken destiny,
we live in silence. the words
uttered are for us to hear.
i am yours and you are mine, with
heads bowed, i submit myself
to your love.

you; to me, there is only you.
my words, my silences,
my deepest desires, my happiness
and my anguish, my flesh
and my passions; they all begin
and end with you.

our flesh may wither away, and
we may become dust,
but our souls will remain together.
this love of ours is immortal,
and we will drown in one another
for an eternity.
