Only When

You were the one who came to me
Defined your thoughts exquisitely
With head layed soft upon your chest
You comforted my heart’s unrest

You lifted me to heights above
The common attributes of love
You let the sun shine on my face
You let your words touch and embrace

You looked below the outer sheen
And saw what no one else had seen
Below the face, beneath the skin
You found a beauty deep within

Only when the storm had past
When I had found some peace at last
And true contentment on my face
Did you then take me in embrace

And still you bring soft smiles to my face - a lot of pressure I know, but please don't stop!

This is so beautiful and tender, a perfect expression of love!  There are no words to add to what has already been said.
