In Your Orbit
dreamergirl

I love the light
 1
streaming through the window
 2
and landing on your face,
 3
the colour of peace.
 4
 
 
I love your gaze -
 5
the way it follows me,
 6
the way I can feel it
 7
even when I turn around,
 8
the presence of your eyes.
 9
 
 
I love your hands,
 10
their cool touch on my arm,
 11
how my cheek tingles
 12
when you brush your fingertips against it.
 13
 
 
I love the calm that
 14
washes over me
 15
every time I look at you.
 16
 
 
I love your voice,
 17
I always have -
 18
it finds me in the quietest moments,
 19
and soothes my broken heart.

So beautiful! A calming moment in a mad world - I can only hope that someone feels the same way about me - rock on!

Thank you both!

Awwwwwwwww.  Very sweet, very romantic, VERY lovingly written and it isn't even Valentine's Day!  :-)  I'd break after L's 4, 9, 13 & 16 for added and beneficial effect of white space.

Thanks, starr! I tried it out and I definitely like the breaks better, it seems a lot less blocky
