Follows Knight in Suspenders with a Sawed-Off Winchester

The refreshing cool water washes down my throat,
quenching my thirst.
I gaze at my saviour once again,
thanking him silently.
His smile and nod make me delirious with delight.
However, as I look past my knight,
I see two flashes of red:
One of a dusty jacket,
and another of a crimson rose.
The soft petals trail across my cheek where stubbles have grazed before.
Contrast indeed!
Bright green eyes beg for my heart,
and a charming smile adds to the plead.
I gaze back to the brilliant blues,
and saw before me equal wanting.
Oh how can I decide?
The soft shuffle of cards can be heard
and I turn to its direction.
Another offer,
this time of cards.
I pull one, as he pulls out another.
Queen of Hearts...
A lonely Aces of Spades.
How I wish to warm his heart!
And yet the silent and seemingly stoic held his ground,
merely leaning with indifference,
but his eyes tell a different tale.
They speak of longing and desire,
and I could only sigh.
Oh how can I decide?!
Two talented men,
with equally faint-inducing beauty.
One of leans and silent courage,
the other of wit and charisma.
Oh, please do tell me,
How can I possibly decide?!!!
