She could no longer sneak out
With him to see the world through
His fresh eyes; one blue, one with
A small cloud of the nevus, brown;
Eyes, opened wide with the surprise
Of knowing she loved him, of how
Much she loved him, surprise and
Delight. His delight, recognized so
Suddenly, and so often, delighted
Her; it was a shared delight in their
Shared love. They could no longer
Sneak out to enjoy their mutual
Love, but it was theirs, is theirs still
She could always remember that.
