You

I see you.
Dark as the night, 
your hair.
Your eyes,  a vivid fire.
I see you, welcoming
the night,
with your steps,
inhaling the crispy air
the rain is carrying.
I see your hair,
reflecting lights,
as if itself a firmament of stars,
your face.
The fresh night carries silence 
and loneliness,
I have to look at you,
I have to listen to your voice,
so close to me,
and I feel, what it means
by  being  near to you.
