"The Way"


Just saying, "Because I love you," is never enough

But, by the way he looks at me, 

I know he cares.

The way he says my name, like a wolf howling,

with passion and respect.

The way he never wants to stop kissing me,

like the way the ocean never stops kissing the shore.

The way by just a simple smile, he brings me sunshine, 

when all I see is rain.

The way his touch sends chills down my spine. 

The way his name tastes on my lips. 

The way he touches me,

like its the last time he ever will.

Instead of saying "I love you," with words,

they should be said with eyes.
