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
