If you could for just one moment
see yourself through my eyes
you would know why I stare
answer to a prayer
If you could discover somehow
what your skin feels like to my hand
you would know why I tremble
seemingly transcendental
If you could step into my soul
to experience how it burns in your proximity
you would know why you are my love
endlessly unfaltering
seemingly transcendental
answer to a prayer
Prints of this poem are available via Society6, and because I was drinking my morning coffee while I wrote this I made sure to make it available on a coffee mug too. If you have ever felt this way then maybe give it to your sweetie so they are reminded how you you see them every morning when they have their first cup.
