The Way
The way her hair fell around her shoulders, like a peaceful waterfall The way her eyes glimmered in the moonlight as our faces grew closer and closer The way her lips felt like velvet and tasted like candy The way the knot in my stomach grew after she told me she loved me The way my heart stopped beating for a moment, only to restart faster The way I longed to be her everything
The way I woke up from this beautiful dream The way I looked at my empty bed, with my eyes full of tears The way I remember hearing my father say "That's unnatural!" when he saw two females kissing on TV The way I felt the knot in my stomach sink and make me feel sick The way the guilt took over my mind
The way she smiled at me in the coffee shop today The way her lips curved as she asked if she could sit with me The way she sat, so interested in what I was reading The way she spoke softly and quickly The way I wanted to hold onto her, because this was not a dream and I couldn't bear to lose her again
The way she caressed my face on our three month anniversary The way she told me I was her everything The way she made me feel whole The way she didn't make me feel guilty about who I was The way she loved me
