The Way 🇰🇪

I loved the way the sun wrapped around you
Like a dress woven from strands of light
I loved the way you stayed close to me
As we held hands walking the empty streets at night
I loved the way your eyes glimmered with hope
Like diamonds pulled straight from the earth
And polished for the very first time
The way your smile could break through the eyes of the blind
I loved your pure innocence bound by faith
I loved your curiousity and your practicality
The only problem was I was too used to heartbreaks
I became best friends with my disappointments
And I lost my belief in forever love
I was familiar with bad timing and always at the wrong place
I got so good at telling lies that even I started to believe them
So now I’m going to put my heart on the line and speak from my soul
Your touch is really the only thing I can feel anymore
The glisten in your eyes is the only thing I can see anymore
I want to whisper in your ears like real lovers do
These soft spoken words weigh down heavy with the truth
I want to be the arms that you fall into
As you slip into a peaceful sleep relieved of all your tension
Let your guard down so I can be your wall of protection
I want to be your fantasy, your idea of forever
I want to be that guy that sweeps you off your feet
I want to be that pair of eyes that you suddenly see in a crowd
Most importantly I want you to always know
That even though the love we had never lasted
I would still walk with you to the ends of this world
And then past it
