A Timeless Walk :)

We walked leisurely, that evening,

In no hurry - a pleasant change
From the constant rush!
In quiet bylanes, unfamiliar to us,
Yet, comforting - strange!
...I loved the calming hush.

The silence broken, and enhanced,
By rustling leaves, and twittering birds.
Wrapped in the coziness of narrow lanes,
Sharing little bits of each other -
Of regrets and hopes, put in simple words,
Of the still-gnawing pains, and of joys that remain.

I could see the pain, a helplessness, in your eyes, 
When I spoke of things that had made me cry,
And I read in your determined eyes, a silent wish
To defeat every little regret I'd ever had.
Your eyes looked at me with most honest love, and I
Believed in you; my faith - simple and pure, and almost childish.

I hardly noticed, when my hand slipped into yours.
Your touch pushing every sad thing of the past
Into shadows of insignificance.
What was it, around us? The light of love?
A soothing comfort of security in my heart,
And in you, a purpose to my purposeless existence.

When, during that timeless walk,
Did existence give way to life?

I thought, then... If the old tale of the Midas touch 
That I was told, when I was just a child,
Can be for real, then you, my love,
Turned my base life to gold. The thought made me smile.

Little moments of 'nothing much' that evening,
Held meaning to me, most sublime.
I wanted to kiss you a hundred times...
...But I saved it for another time...
