Your sanctuary

You keep visiting my heart.

Evidently you are happy.

I see you smiling each time I approach.

You sit there staring out towards the horizon, watching the sun hide behind the ocean.

I don’t want to break your serene gaze. So I sit there, trying to mentally photograph the beauty of your image.

You turn to face me and I smile upon meeting your eyes.

How they put the sun to shame.

Those dark brown eyes, they are the light that illuminate my heart.

How I picture the flawless chocolate swirls that greet me time and time again, without ever losing the spark I love so much.

I sit beside you, breathing your floral scent.

It fills my lungs with euphoria.

How I wish I could forever breathe you in.

Alas like the scent of any flower, your intoxicating aroma is temporary.

But my hear will forever welcome you.

That is perhaps the one element in the world that is not temporary: My love for you.
