do you see the stars, my love?
how they shine
against the dark night sky
sparkling and twinkling
like your eyes
for when they meet mine.

do you feel the cold breeze?
how they brush
caress your skin so delicately
sending delicious chill all over
like your hand
when they brush against mine.

do you feel the cloud raining
and washing away
everything that's unpure and unwanted
just like you
take away all my doubts
and fears
everytime you tell me you love me.

do you know, my love?
that i love you as much as
the sun loves the earth
the ocean loves the shore
the autumn winds love the trees
the moth loves the flame.

a desperate need to be close to you,
i tell you,
burns my heart,
but i'm afraid of getting lost
in you so much
that i might forget everything -
even myself.
