We kiss like we would

Hollowing the pain and hopelessness to let fill in your warmth

And your eyes, smiling back at me

I can hear the rain telling me “She loves you”

You hold my tears and I caress my hand across your face

Pulling your hair behind your ear

And shining is the beauty in your eyes

Your blue sweater, even though February was so cold

You hold me, and so thaws the cold and I cry like august rain

Your fingers interlock in with mine

And you tell me that you love me

I love you too

And I know what they mean when they say words of happiness

When they speak of smiles and wholeness

You held me, and with only your embrace is everything truly okay

Why did you have to hurt me?
