I Saw Your Face

Saw your face and noticed
The reflection in your eyes. 
And peered into your lovely soul
As well as the hidden lies.
I know they tried pulling away
Your heart from mine
But I knew that if I stayed
Our love would bring you back in time

(Her- "I wanted to run, I wanted to hide
I really couldn't rend his heart, 
By telling him I lied.")

Darling, come closer and feel
My warmth. It will surely heal 
The scars your struggles have left
If this road you've chosen
Means that we'll be broken,
Know that I'll always be okay.


(Her- "When I returned, he was distraught.
I saw him worried, if not
Angered. Yet 'soon as he saw my face
His heart melted, his arms beckoned    me to an embrace.")

Love is patient, even in ferocity
It is gracious in it's generosity.
Love forbears, it is kind
Love sees the heart,
 though people say it's blind.
                -Enosh Koshy
