-take my words away-

"I guess I'm overwhelmed by you"
is all I can say.
I'm barely ever speechless
but you take my words away.

I'm hardly ever silent,
but for you I'll be quiet.
Just listen to your sweet voice
going on and on.

I take my time to look at you,
to take everything in.
So that, when we part,
I can see you again.

For my memories of you
linger within,
bringing a smile to my face.

And when you catch me out
I won't look away.
I'll just smile and watch you
again.

-Aeri
