I fell in love with the way
you wrote
poems on my skin
tracing your fingers
that kissed away the scars
my soul was tired of wearing
I fell in love with the way
you whispered
just the right things
when the heart was lost
and restored hope
with your patient words
I fell in love with the way
you held me close
with that penetrating gaze
a touch of promise
that filled my soul
with reborn faith
