Undeniable

My words freeze on air, your waves
ripple into silence.
I thought I knew the hunger
of your smile;
no yearning for pretty surfaces.
This time to be the last,
forever.
Now, searching,
the lonely travel the streets.
So many look for love,
but so few fight to keep it.
I look to you, swimming in the depths
of your eyes,
look for a question that
exhausted breaths can't conceal.
When your words strike, the world collapses,
a smaller place,
just you and I. And all I want
is hidden beneath your shadow,
encompassed by all that you are.
