I look at your face as we talk
The face I cannot touch with my hands
I follow the outlines of your features
With my eyes
And draw them
On my mental sketchbook
I study every part
Noting each minute detail
Your features become
Indelibly etched in my memory
The picture is my treasure
Preserved for later
For I don't know
When I shall get to see you again
Exquisitely crafted and delicately conveyed impressions of a romantic meeting. Thanks.
