“Amavo il tuo sorriso, ma ho preferito il mio.”

“Amazing beauty
After a while, that seemed longer than the longest moment of time,
There she stood in her shy beauty, but now in its prime,
It seemed sun beams bathed her soul,
To make her a true personification of beauty whole,
That is as beautiful inside as it is outside,
And between these facts her true personality did somewhere reside,
And I wanted to locate it and end my predicament,
To seek for myself a new realisation, a new sense of fulfillment,
That of loving someone who exists beyond the palpable dimensions,
Even beyond the known scale of human sensations,
Because whenever I look at her, whether it is day or night,
I wish to touch her part of beauty that FEELS differently bright, because it is always out of sight,
And today when she stands right in front of me,
By diving into her eyes I wish to find her true source of glee,
And when I dived in them with my closed eyes but an open heart,
I realised, it is beautiful feelings and pure thoughts that to her their beauty impart,
Now I live in them, with them, and maybe for them too,
Because only then I manage to love her invisible beauty, her reality, her beauty true,
So, I have a new address of existence now, her eyes, her thoughts and her dreams,
Where I lie covered in beauty’s imagination and its beautiful beams,
And this moment that I have been experiencing for infinity now,
Is our well preserved secret of our feelings of love!”
