Body Language

You discovered me in a place where words do not exist.
The silence of euphoria is the only language spoken in such a dwelling.
And so we had to make due with the silence we shared.

With my eyes I said to you that my yearning never died.
With your hurried footsteps you said to me that you had waited your whole life.
My eyebrows questioned if you were waiting for me.
The creases on your forehead told me I was being silly.
Then the smile on your lips confirmed that indeed I was the one,the glistening of your teeth reassured that fact.

The increase in my blood flow screamed with joy.
The whisper of my grin told you I felt the same.
Your hand reaching out for mine replied your certainty.
My fingers lacing through yours declared you, the love of my eternity.

The warmth radiating from your skin gingerly said likewise.
My tears laughed at your honest reply.
The hug you pulled me in to promised me it wasn't a lie.
And my arms wrapping you near shared their belief.

And so we remained
Still and quiet
dangerously in love.
