A Secret Never To Be Told

Afterglow, the way you shine, awakening delicate as early morning dew Beautiful, always the memory of our first time Charming, the way you blushed as I stroked your cheek Divine, the tatse of your lips upon mine Elegant, your style, your passion First and always, I will remember your trembling hand as I took hold Graciously, I bow out, knowing my own defeat Harmoniously, we stutter and stammer our conversation I will always remember Jealously I submit to let the world share you as you must leave Keeping evermore this moment in my heart Loyal I guard the secrets of our only night Maybe, just maybe, you will return No, no I know I am wishful thinking Over, it's over, so much ending so soon Promises, promises made and yet the cold light of day breaks their intent Quietly, hush, there's nothing more to be said Regrets do not belong in this moment, this time, this place. Stolen, the hours we shared, never mine to keep Trusting, those eyes that need not ask for my silence Undying, such undying love Virginal white, the sheets which we lay upon Wanting more, so much more Xeric, so dry, so barren, my thirst once quenched by the oasis that is lost You the embodiment of my soul, the only home my heart resides in. Zero, from nothing you came, and to nothing I now return.
