I raise my eyes to the heavens,
A cluster of rain droplets land on my face,
The feelings locked so tightly within,
Swell and threaten to succeed in their escape,
The tears from the sky slowly slide,
Along the stubborn contours of my cheek,
My heart is in my hands- I'm on a ride so thrilling,
And frightening, it has robbed me of the ability to speak,
Footsteps behind me cause me to spin,
A shadow across the ground is all I can see,
You step from the forest wearing a wide grin,
That disappears when you view the depth of my love,
A somber look is in your cobalt blue eyes,
You take my hands in yours,
Cobalt blue eyes meet dark chocolate ones,
And I realize... we are one,
We are one in our love for each other,
Your soul and mine together, forever,
Never will I love another,
A smile crosses my lips softly,
As I drown in the depths of your soul,
You bring me close to your body,
Your lips brush my ear ever so softly,
"Never despair, my love, for I am always with you",
Just before your mouth closes on mine,
I whisper, "I love you",
You reply, "I will always love you",
And with those words, our love is sealed in a kiss,
As the rain slides down my face,
I love you, always and forever,
Till death do us apart.
