Andrew

You're the only one who has ever made me weep because of how happy I felt.
..I could listen to you play piano all day.
..I can tell, that you play from your heart..
This is for you..


Your veins; connected like strings.
emotions travel to your fingertips
and press the keys with such delicate ease.

Then weight is lifted and the room feels lighter.
 As listeners gather, their eyes- brighter.

You make Winter less cold,
the hours, the weeks, the months less old.
Tastes brand new,
Touches with more feeling.
Problems are few, when the life that you knew
suddenly gained something worth meaning.

Kisses are sweeter, hugs- deeper.
Silence less awkward, a reason to move forward.

Sleeping is unbearable when I'm sleeping alone
when the closest I get to your breath is the phone.
Every nerve in my body quickly awakens;
when the movement of your fingertips slightly lengthen.

You reach for the keys and my heart skips a beat,
craving the sounds of your heart that pounds,
that connects to your veins that are tied to those keys,
Oh how lovely you are, how you give me this peace.

If only you knew the places I've gone.. the things that I've seen,
When your heart plays a song.
