i still could sense the reluctant
metamorphosis of your spirit,
from who you are to
who you ought to be,

your doubts charged by
an impeccable, lyrical smile
that hover when you mean
to give more than you could,

yet despite my supposed innocence
or blatant ignorance, i capture
the brightness of your elusive

gaze and think of myself
blessed, for each day i take
your hand for a leap of faith.
