Intent to Preserve your Gaze

I've stolen your gaze,
And I intend to 
Preserve it.

I've wrapped it in my 
Favourite songs.
Soaked it in the fragrance 
Of the flowers I've 
Adored.

I intend to nurse it 
With my nostalgia and 
Nourish it with the presage 
Of great time that's 
Ahead.

Ohh! How I wish to be
Seen by your eyes
Again and again.
How I want my name 
To be uttered along
With yours.

How I want be stolen,
Intoxicated and 
Drowned in your depths.
And if only, redemption
Didn't lie in this yearning-

How I wouldn't even 
Dare fall for you--

But I do. I do. I do.
