Love Seen With Blinded Eyes

Since the first time our eyes met I felt a connection
This connection..something unseen yet all along I knew it was there
 Just as real as the raindrops I hear 
They fall to the muddy ground outside
 Sheets of it pounds, pours 
We lay tangled together, my head on your chest
 The rain drumming steadily like the beat of your heart in my ear
 Sweetening the loud thunder and erasing every single fear
And as you hold me everything in this world disappears

 All I have is this moment right here
So real that it almost brings me to tears

 Outside the light flickers through 
But it dissipates and falls silent
 And the only thing I feel in my heart is you
Your presence inside me, surrounding me
 Until I am entirely consumed

For a moment this world ceased to spin
 Seems surreal, like a dream I swear it’s too perfect
I am afraid that when I wake you will not be there

Is this just a cruel game?
  Because nobody ever said life would be fair

 Reality melts away, makes my breath catch
How can fantasy and reality be the same?

 Beauty seen with mostly blinded eyes
Eyes that have seen far too much hate and horror
 Eyes that forgot beauty still exists

Love is only seen with the heart....when hearts combine, they never part....part of each forever Lives with the other....other than that, what you have is simply a partner, not a Lover....Beautiful write maryann....;)
