Her heart lies in his hands
like a porcelain doll
and all she can do is believe
he won't let it fall
and shatter
and break
irreparably.

He won't.

And she keeps his safe too
in a cherished place
like the gem she knows it to be
she won't throw it out
or lose it
or break it
accidentally.

He knows.

Enzymes come out to play
when they're together
hormones dance around in the night
they spend it alone
eyes open
just them
surreptitiously.

She feels.

Others say she's being used
or on the rebound
planning to hurt or be hurt
they cast aspersions
unjust
untrue
indefensibly.

She cares.

Their romance is clichéd
like love being blind
but they both know it is real
and aren't offended
or cowed
or shaken
pointlessly.

They love.

Throughout the breaking storm
even when it's dim
they won't ever let go; they
know, feel,
care, love,
endlessly.

They do.
