my apologies
love
but
i did not know
the fire in
your eyes
could melt a cold
winter's
evening
for
if i had
i would have
forsaken
the wood
and the stove
in favor of
seeking warmth
inside
your arms

my apologies
love
but
i did not know
that destiny
in all its strange
beautiful
chaos
could bring me
closer
to knowing
myself
than knowing
myself
could

my apologies
love
but
i looked into
your eyes
and saw
forever
staring back
at me
i saw the future
in your hands
i saw the life
that only
more deserving
beings
receive
presented
to me
through
you

i cannot help
myself
if i take you
by storm
and whisk
you away
into another place
into another time
i cannot help
myself
for it was there
in your eyes
when i dreamed of
tomorrow
and saw you
standing there

my apologies
love
but
you will have
to accept
the fact
that i will be
beside you
always
until the end
of time
for i have bound
myself
to you
and you have bound
yourself
to me.

interconnected
hearts
intertwined.
forgive me
for such
brash
bold
impetuous
behavior.
but i saw
tomorrow
in you
and wish
to pull you
from tomorrow
into
today.
