"You're beautiful when you sleep,"
he whispered into her ear.
She fluttered her eyes open,
& said,"Hmm. How long have you
been here?"
"Long enough to know that you
are my world." he said.
She looked into his eyes & saw
a spark, the one that he's had
ever since that night in the dark.
He looked into her eyes,
just to see,
Eyes that stared back ::
empty.
