The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Still

When I look into your eyes
I can see unyielding passion
unconditional love and devotion
compassion, compromise, beauty
you make me feel complete
filling the void, making the memories
deep within me, fade
almost as though they never
ever happened

When I look into your eyes
I see the pride within you
the love you radiate
the kindness you show when we're alone
you turn my life around
every time you smile
every time you laugh
making the terrors burn away 
gone away

And through all of the passion
all of the love, I
still need you
through all of the memories
all of the crying
I still need you
