doubt vanquished by love

I turn to see your smile and my heart skips a beat, 

my smile in return, involuntary.

I struggle to pull air back into these lungs, 

trapped in those eyes that reflect my own soul.   

You take my hand, eyes locked, 
minds interacting on a level that transcends speech--
and smile, softly, at the tear that comes, each time.
