deeper than words

a desire for a lasting love,
with no end in sight.
boundless by the passage of time.
the battle in our mind
is the fear of the love that will last
but the lover left,
leaving us hollow.
__
a sense of misfortune,
when our body shares
a resolute mind and a hopeless heart.
__
trying to not love so deeply,
or at least until the other matches our depth
unsure if it will ever be.
hand-in-hand,
the depth of your love today
is the depth of your wound tomorrow.
__
not everything in the heart can be said,
some feelings are beyond words,
but your silent cues
from the way you look,
to the way you smile
and the way you hands feel on my skin
tell me all that I need to know.
