Why did my spine tingle?
Where did my balance go?
There in the glow of evening
I caught the perfume of your soul.

A shape that made my balance jelly
A face that made dreams wonderful reality
Where did you come from I screamed
The scream only felt not heard deep inside

Days floated into seconds I feared the next
That time to leave you, rushed to me
Though each second seemed years
A softness of touch, feelings spreading

Is this a love that has captured me?
Did I not love before, or did I pretend?
Guarded ways for feelings so tender
I was supposed to be strong in all things.

A blithering wreck cast on a perfect beach
There I watched each movement
Though eyes were vacant dreams
The vision of you was stealing my soul.

Tender words drifted and were captured
Bolstering a growing love, encompassing me.
Held by the strongest web, I wanted to stay
I gave you my soul knowing it was safe.

A fear came when I had to leave our space.
A space where we were one and love grew
If only we had talked of feelings true
A system dictated that we hid things away.

Time has passed, years have come and gone
There in the sanctuary of my mind you are
Held there above all things I believed.
As the sea touches the shore,

I touch you each day..
