Gabriella Alziari

Only One

I recall your sense of humor,

the dirt left in your room

how we danced beneath the stars

like awkward lovers do

 

You were the only one I opened to

 

Five years have passed and still

there is fire in your touch

and courage in your eyes,

there is sheer determination

that makes me travel miles

to stand next to

your side

 

You are the only soul

within this distant place

that somehow makes

the distance

fall away

 

Within your touch I bloom

like foolish lovers do,

five years have passed

and still

You are the only soul

within this place

that somehow makes

my darkness

fade away

 

Believe me when I write the words

I love you
