Eye Glass

No one can ignore your value. 
You're the reason why there's 
light in front of me. 
My eyes can see in the dark, 
But your clear zeal to replace the 
shadow by your little love all the 
more ignites my desire to take 
care of you. 
One night, while I carefully lay 
you by my side,I accidentally let 
you fall. 
Fear has suddenly let me rise up 
from bed. 
I earnestly look to find you, 
Under the bed, 
Somewhere in the table, in other 
corners where we often see each 
other, 
And in the piles of reading 
materials that we always share. 
At last I've found you. 
You're in between the pages of my favorite book, 
Pinned. 
Broken. 
Maybe I did not notice that I left 
you there, 
In my excessive eagerness to 
keep you safe, 
Hoping that nothing can ever 
harm you. 

I temporarily store you, 
So that when we meet again 
someday, you're still the same as 
before.
