They fit

1.

Our eyes
Search playfully,
Lips
Lightly
Slightly
Shake,
Breathless
Smiles.

Our skin
Touches,
Hands
Together,
They fit,
We do not let go.

You look away,
Unsure,
Then back
At me,
Straight
In to
My eyes.

You whisper words,
I hear
And I smile
And I fear
And I look
Away,
Then back
In to
Your eyes.

I whisper back
And you kiss my lips
And we are happy.
Happy.

2.

You sit
On my lap
Our eyes
Search painfully,
I kiss your neck,
You turn away
And begin to cry
And I sigh and ask and search for an answer
As your tears drop faster.

You cannot speak
And so I ask
What I am so scared to ask,
And you nod
And I cry too.

Then you hug me
And say goodbye,
And my pink t-shirt
Is turned red
From tears.

You drive away
And I am left
Bereft,
And that is it,
And I am not happy,
Not happy at all.

Two sides of that same coin called love.

Very nicely done. I liked it a lot :)

Ye, love has so many other ups and downs but it is the highest highs and the lowest lows which stick the most.

Liked this. Pain and exultation - not too far from each other.
