When You See Me, Can You See Me?

His voice says go inside like velvet in my ear.
I know it's late, but his eyes say never leave.
He loves me and I know it.
I love him. I think?

Maybe I should go but I stay another day.
I cannot break his heart.
Instead we laugh and love some more.
He lifts me high, spins me round and round.
A picture is what I get. It will be all I have left.

I love him. I think?

This is one more day for him to love, one more day to be loved by him.
His voice says go inside. I don't want to go.
His eyes say never leave. But I know I will.

I will do it now. I'll be quick and get it over with like a Band-Aid.
It will hurt but it's for him. He deserves love as strong as his.
I will leave but he speaks.
I'll let him it may be the last nice thing he says to me.

"I love you like I never loved before. Darling it only grows with time."

"I love you too," I think.
His eyes say never leave and I know this is harder than I thought.
"Come here hun," I motion and bring a blindfold from my purse.

"What are you-?"

"Shh it'll be quick," blinded by the cloth his eyes can say nothing.
I hold him close one last time. His smile is playfully and charming.

"I love you darling."

"I know... that I love you too," because I don't want to leave.
"I love you," but I will leave.
"I love you," because you need to be loved the way that you love me.
"I love you."

"I love you too. I love you too. I love you too," and we kissed. His lips warm sweet and silky smooth. His voice is soft velvet in my ear "Never leave."

"Good bye."
Blinded he can't see me as I run away.
Eyes won't tell me I should stay.
A picture is all I have.
