You And I...

You sat away, lost in thought
I waited patiently, but troubled, for you.
Somehow seeing you worried made my heart reach out,
'Coz I didn't know if there was anything I could do.

I knew cascading thoughts besieged your mind,
I ached to look inside your head.
Help you sort out what it was that was eating you,
But I stayed away, as you had asked, instead.

And then you took my hand in yours,
My heart clenched several times.
For in your eyes there was warmth and understanding,
Made me want to write prose and rhymes.

We've had some good times together,
Laughing and talking, seems like time stood still.
Felt like we've known each other forever,
Every void, complementing me, you've seemed to fill.

The other day you looked all serious,
You held my hand in yours.
I smiled, as I usually do, when you did so,
Always reminded me of a walk along the sea shores.

A ring you slipped onto my finger,
Time stood still,a moment of pure rapture.
Ecstasy had no limits for me then,
For my heart, body and soul you had captured.
