In your eyes

Jon Nakapalau

I saw the tide of my years,

pulling me to you, past the shore of my loneliness,
that I thought would leave me stranded.

But that love I so wanted,
that love I would have suffered for,

it was never mine. 
And you never promised it to me,

it was never mine to covet.
But now I can tell you

in a whisper down corridor of years,
how I hate him for drowning my soul

in your summer kisses.
