your words rest upon my skin
etched like secrets 
whispered by the wind
each letter a story
every phrase a journey
they dance along the surface
weaving the truth of our love
with each gentle stroke
they become pieces of who we are
leaving traces of us in their wake
like ink upon paper
they stain my soul 
with their indelible mark
speaking everything in silence

with each heartbeat
I carry a part of you
that’s embedded in my soul
a beautiful flame
that will always illuminate
the darkest corners of my existence

in the blink of an eye
time dances away
slipping through our fingers 
like grains of sand in an hourglass 
it rushes forward 
with an unstoppable momentum 
heedless of our pleas 
for it to slow down 
each second 
each minute
a fleeting whisper in the wind 
leaving only memories in its wake 
days blur into weeks 
weeks into months
and before we know it
years have passed 
like a forgotten dream

under the warm embrace 
of the summer sun
our hearts danced to the rhythm 
of a love only found in the season 
of endless days
the air filled with the fragrance 
of blooming flowers
as the sun painted the sky 
in hues of orange and pink
and with each beat of our heart
we wrote our own chapter 
in the book of summer love

you a poet 
with a heart adorned in metaphors
stumbled upon the open canvas 
of my notebook

me a dreamer 
with eyes that held galaxies
discovered the same untouched pages 

and as destiny would have it 
our words collided
in the margins of fate
creating a love like no other 
that pirouetted across the paper

within me is you
a story written with the ink 
of a thousand wishes
and these blank pages
lay witness
to the timeless masterpiece
of you and I
