Valentine's Day Poem

My friend gave me a poem for V-Day because it reminded her of me. It reminds me of me too. I like it a lot so I thought I would share...

Blue Silk by Kyla Fitz-Gerald

All I've ever wanted lies in your hands
If my heart is breaking, the pieces are scattered
I'm afraid to open the box
I might not have the strength to close it
I would place my heart in your hands
If only I could see your hands

The reflection of the water is
In my eyes and
Casting shadow and light
On my dress of blue silk

If I could see the peak, I would climb the mountain
I want to hold your hand, strong and firm
I look ahead and see fog
I look behind and see crystal
I would listen to you, if you would talk
I would jump into the water if you were there

The wind hugs my face
Lifts my hair
It's fingers tug gently
At my dress of blue silk

I will step on the boat draped in cloth and
I will go down the river without you
I hear your footsteps on the grass and
I whisper to myself 'guide my boat down the river'
I want to shout my thoughts to the wind
But shouting is not load enough, I must whisper

The smell of fresh rain
Runs through me, and
Clears the fog so you can see
My dress of blue silk

The look in your eyes is the one I have desired
I turn to face the wind trying not to care
If I leave without you
That is the way I want to remember you
You step on the boat draped in cloth
You stretch a hand out to me

The song that wants to be sung
Jumps inside my lungs
As if a restraining hand would help
I smooth the dress of blue silk

I don't want you to come with me; I want to go with you
You ask me, 'will you come'
I place my hand in yours and feel the strength
You untie the rope and send the boat down the river
I am just a girl in a dress
But you made me a princess in blue silk
