Reflected by water and the distant midnight Your eyes I see now in a different light The thunder applauds us from clouds high above And our hearts spurred by lightning again fall in love In your eyes I see something magical and new A happy and beautiful bubblegum you Up to your neck in a hundred degrees Scanning the sand, taking in the sea breeze In your eyes I see something that scares me to death Brings a warmth to my heart and a shake to my breath For once we both know what it is we should say But in that moment we steal away Wrapped in nothing, it seems, but the warmth of the air Our weaknesses, worries, and pale flesh lay bare To the eyes of the gods who approve from their post A love all can see means so much more than most Together we pass the lightning lit hours And gaze at the sky as it rains down the showers That washed clean our sins forever ago But still there is one thing I want you to know This night means more now than ever before As we move from water and onto the shore On the beach we collapse and breathe deep the wind As it dances and dries your beautiful skin And once we are dry and our breath has returned When the rain in the sky has finally turned We will walk arm in arm, heart in heart, hand in hand Back to our home at the edge of the land And there we will prove that some poems are wrong They are wordy and gusty and go on too long For while virtue to some may be lower than sin At the end of the storm, only virtue will win
