I hold the cup in hand
while gazing across the way
at your face.

I watch your breath enter
and marvel at your presence;
feel your life.

The warmth of the tea cup
mirrors my warm heart for you
and for us.

My eyes cast down and see
the handle and a shadow
form a heart.

Realizing I love you
I look into your dark eyes
to confirm.

I see you smile knowing
and your eyes begin to glow
and there's love.
