In the silence of the night..
He looms over the darkness..
Hanging from the fringes..
Of the closed peaceful lashes..
Dancing over the cheeks..
Glowing in the soft hues of moonlight..
Snuggling close to the beating heart..
From the lush gleaming black cascade..
A stray strand of hair brushes past the cheek..
Mildly stirred.. not enough to break the embrace..
The gentle breeze carries on their sweet lullaby..
Lightly treading on her long eyelashes..
Content in the eyes..
Longing in the touch..
He watches her..
Finding ways to be near..
To let her know.. that he cares..
To let her know.. that he loves..
That her peaceful night..
Is his sleepless eyes..
That her beating heart..
Is killing him inside..
As it is never fated to happen..
Deciding to let go.. shatters him to million pieces..
A single tear shines in the darkness..
But one last look is all it needs..
To let the resolve break..
With a lingering kiss on her forehead..
He slowly moves away..
For his job is done for the night..
She would meet him yet again..
Unknown to his presence..
And until then..
He will wait..
With a forlorn goodbye..
And glimmer of hope..
For the day to come to an end..
