I watched the light
as the sunset touched your hair,
brushed it from your eyes,
and lingered longingly on your cheeks.
I know how that light feels
so my fingertips trace the shadows
your eyes,
and ears
and lips
lingering lovingly on your skin
wanting nothing so much as to hold on
in that twillight moment
I lost my heart
in the whispered words "I love you"
