his eyes puffy,
she knew he needed her touch

afraid of his tongue,
he withdrew for the night

she would never forsake his trust,
continuing to believe in the things he wants

place without a home,
life within a box,
he can find the buried treasures

she would be there now,
if the winds weren't so harsh

making her way around the room
with his eyes locking on her figure,
time would stand still

he hopes she is falling in love,
and she hopes he already is.
