A/N: Poem written for iheartGibbs for the Help Haiti Auction on NFA. She requested McGiva romance from an outsider's POV. Enjoy. :)
how legends are made
he sees her as a flower, at times,
but knows there is so much more
than just her beauty.
she sees him as a novel, more often,
and sometimes cannot look past
the words he chooses.
but they both see all the other things
that make them who they are:
she, a knife, a gypsy, water in a stream.
he, a gun, a poet, the earth beneath her feet.
they, together, they are different, so much
so from each other, but they fit and make
sense as a couple when together,
the perfect balance of hard and soft,
of cold and heat, exotic and the ordinary.
when he kisses her, she melts, or sparks
erupt behind her eyes, and they both know
this is more than just a moment, one minute
in time. they know this is . . . forever.
