UNDERSTANDING YOU

There is you.
Then there is me.
Hand in hand, a dark windy night.
On a walkway too soft to be man made.
Looking into your tender brown eyes.
Tears start to outline my eyes.
For you and I both know that today will be the end.
The end of one moment and the start of another.
I look to the stars above and pray.
Pray to the night blue sky that this cannot be over.
Pray to the twinkling stars for a few seconds more of this moment.
But my prayers are unanswered.
For there are some things that are just meant to happen.
The wind starts to pick up and blows the tear down my cheek.
And out of habit..you wipe it away.
As your hand lingers on my face I start to tremble.
Tremble of the fear of not only losing you as a lover.
But as a friend.
That maybe after this is over.
You will never speak to me again.
But then when I look into your eyes.
I get the message…
That will never happen.
