Analysis of For only your face can see.
The stars light up the night sky for only you.
The oceans lull to let only you walk through.
The tigers hold the cracks beneath their feet for only your breath.
The sands blow canyons into hidden cities for only you.
The light follows each sound of only you.
The softest touch of tenderness falls only at your fingertips.
On your wings the heart lifts me into eternities for only your love.
Each second answers the reasonings behind your sweetest questions of life.
Each open curtain unveils the silken sunfilled mystery of your day.
