Here we are
in the spaces in-between
Hidden inside a realm
of longing and need
Darkness and light
nourish our souls
Our days and desires
consumed by what unfolds
An alternate universe
is what we’ve created
Our minds free to soar
our hearts awakened
Every day with you
compounds my addiction
A life of love
without limitations

He gave me a look
I’ll never forget.
It was the kind of display
that takes your breath away,
rendering one giddy
from the thrill of it.
It was the sort of look
that leaves you dancing
on a euphoric cloud,
intoxicated by the soothing
waves of wonder
sweeping over your soul.
And I’ll never forget
that sweet moment of bliss
when his gorgeous gaze
wrapped around my own.
Because that’s when I knew
that he really did love me,
and I know for certain
he still does.

I can’t wait to see the world
stretched out at my feet
and lose myself to love,
getting lost in your heartbeat.
I need the air I breathe
to be shared only by you
and for you to come away
and have all of this too.
I want to see the road ahead
go on forever,
taking you with me
on every endeavor.
I need to spend my whole life
with you by my side
because wherever you are
is where my heart resides.

Life was forever bliss
under that strawberry sky.
Intertwined, we remained,
just you and I.
Caught up in imaginings
only we could see.
Keeping each other’s secrets
and running free.
Making love on that sandy,
secluded shore.
Every delicious desire
was ours to explore.

When I couldn’t be there
to lose myself in you,
I knew my favorite song
would have to do.
Sometimes I’d let the words
rush over my skin,
remembering all the places
where we’d once been.
There were countless nights
I could only imagine you here,
and losing you in my life
was my greatest fear.
So I’d take solace
in my favorite song,
hopeful that the words
would carry me along.
Filled with a melody
so I could hold you in my heart,
I believed in earnest
that we’d never part.
