II. Everything and More

These “sweet Nothings”?

They mean so much more to me than you’ll ever know.

I’ll take the blame for that, it’s my responsibility if it doesn’t show.

Everything I’ve said, you’ve said, about you, is truly breathtaking.

I don’t take any of it lightly.

The sparkle in your eyes, standing out in front of the backdrop of the bluest sky or the darkest night.

The radiance in your smile, like a beacon, drawing me in from the damp, cold fury of the waves of the life I’ve lived.

The way the corner of your mouth twitches when our lips touch, as if that meeting pulled the trigger that released all the passion you have stored up inside.

I love it all, the way your hair flows when you walk, and rests down your back when you’re stationary, yielding to your will as is natural to do with a queen like you.

The way you look at me every morning, just before we go our separate ways, as if taking a mental picture to get you through our hours away.

The way you looked last night, just before we.....

Well

These “nothings” could never be nothing.

They’re hope.

They’re love.

They’re commitment.

They’re loyalty.

They’re direction.

They’re appreciation.

They’re you.

They’re everything and more.
