The Love of Two
Her heart beats faster
Can he hear it?
It sounds so loud
To her
He stands next to her
Her face goes hot
She whispers something
But the noise is too loud for him to hear
Her eyes follow him
Love shines in them.
Years pass nothing changes
Her heart beats faster but not as fast
He still can’t hear it
It’s not as loud as it was
He’s still next to her
Her face’s heat is fading
Her whispers are to quiet
He couldn’t hear her
Even if he wanted to
Her eyes barely follow him
They’ve strayed to someone new.
He glances at her
She shines with something beautiful
His heart beats faster
He prays she can’t hear it
Her eyes shine with happiness when he’s there
So do his
He wishes for something to change
But he doesn’t know what
Her eyes move from him
He knows what it is now
Her love for him never changes
But she’s pushed them away
They’re still there they will never go away
They’re slowly shifting to someone new
He makes her smile but not like he could
Everything he does isn’t like how he does it
She misses him a lot
But knows he will never be hers
They meet one day
After years of being apart
The love is still there
He has no one to love but her
She has had her heart broken too many times
They wish for love
They wish for each other
She whispers again
This time he hears her
He smiles at her, love in his eyes
“I love you”
They whisper their love
And for the first time
They listened and they heard what they had wished for.
Many, many years later
A mother whispers a love story to her child softly
She leaves when the child is asleep
Going to their bedroom
Where the love of her life a waits
They smile and whisper, as they did before
“I love you.”
