After Sunset

After Sunset...

How can I let you know?
Can words even convey it at all?
Or would actions speak louder?

Maybe if I look into your eyes,
my whole experience would be revealed to your soul.

I have always sought goodness in every person around me.
But in you, I see goodness personified.
Now, I don't have to try to see, it just glows from your being.
Because of you, everyone else matters.
I find the feeling closer the more I treat them like you would.
Maybe, being like you is the only way to stay close to you.

Oh God,
Thank you for your blessings.
