remember

 
Do you remember when your voice 
melted my emotions into tears 
that painted your love across my face;

when I looked into your eyes,
felt my soul floating into their very depths
and knew that it was finally home.

Do you remember, Darlin’
when I placed my heart in your hands,
felt you close your fingers around it

holding it tight enough not to drop it,
yet so gentle that its light still shone through
and I knew that it had never been so safe?
