Not Flowers

I still remember the way you looked on the beach Wind blowing in your face The moon casting its brightened rays upon you You looked so beautiful I wish I could have stayed there on that beach forever But, the sun would have risen on our peaceful night And with it would have brought the hordes of tourists Beach towels in hand So I’m looking forward to every day Balancing one on top of one another And then summed into another year Know that I am and always will be entirely yours But not flowers, nor chocolates, nor any amount of words can capture this feeling Of being locked inside our own embrace Each dreaming of the other, but lost to the rest of the world And it’s a brand new dawn that shines upon my face That awakens me to the smell of you And I know, you mean everything to me And I still remember how you looked at me The first time I said, “I love you.” Oh, how your bright eyes shined And danced and gleamed Capturing every bit of light Refracting every inch of my being ‘Cause somehow I know You really mean the meaning Behind those words: “….I love you...” So I’m looking for these words to say But none come to my tongue Because you are my only love in life So know that I am and always will be entirely yours But not flowers, nor chocolates, nor any amount of words can capture this feeling Writing this is like a long maze So I’ll leave with a, “farewell” And a, “I will see you soon.” Because I’ll always remember the way you looked That night out on the beach, That night under the moon
