Teardrops on Rocks

His eyes are the ocean. Blues Grey's and deep. I Hold onto him tightly, but I don't utter a peep. Listening to his heart beat, lying close to his chest. I know he is tired, and I should let him rest.

Though sometimes it's hard, lying hand grazing cheek. I'm watching him silently, my eyes start to leak. Don't let him wake up, do not let him see. my tears of of joy, this IS meant to be. He holds things inside, a tough man you know. Yet inside he cries. He can't let me go.

His fingers will tousle my hair, I'll pretend I'm upset. Though his hand stroking my hair, lips kissing the top of my head, I'll never forget.

When clumsiness overcomes me, and I can't find the words..
He'll tell me he loves me, saying "This you deserve."

I won't let him go, I'll wait by the sea. Forever and a day, this man is for me.

When his ship sails away, his locket I'll clutch. My heart will be aching, the grief will be much. The grief will be much, but not too much. For ships can sail, planes can fly and taxi's can drive you away. But two hearts have been bonded. Together they'll stay.

This love it is solid, unbreakable and smooth. Rough seas are ahead, but boulders don't move. You can push all you want, but a boulder won't budge. Rocks are not so easily broken, but you be the judge.

Don't be fooled by the distance, it's only the sea. Water on sold dries eventually. Tears on rocks would do well to describe, the short separation but memories are prescribed. You'll always remember and never forget. Real love is forever, this heart is well set.

But for now let him rest. Heartbeat close, cheek grazing his chest. "Hold me", I say,"one more time before you sleep. I'll be here forever, my hearts yours to keep.".

When I wake he'll be leaving, but I know he'll be back. His face will be smiling, a joke he will crack. I'll pretend it's not funny and give him that look. But inside I'm laughing. I'm writing that book. Letters from memory, pages in time, chapters in years held by a well worn spine. The books about him, and the chance that I took, on that strange and wonderful night my heart he did hook.
