walk to me again. walk in the way you once walked:
      smiling and freely to the tree where

                  we found love.

talk to me again, talk and
      let my already smiling heart smile more,
   living in you.
          
dance with me again. dance and sing;
                  your twirling and gorgeous lines
      
                
   steal my breath and your sound is
                  what makes me brave.
absorb me again:
                  nothing knows my body the way you do:
          
        
       neither the deepest pain nor the
                  purest joy nor myself can claim they know me;
   only you.


                  There is only ever you and your ocean eyes.

i visited you on a Saturday
and i didn't know
       what to expect.
you wore a blue sundress
that afternoon,
and we stepped into the shade
of a weeping willow.

we laid and talked,
                    only talked and held hands.
after a while we walked back to
  where you sleep
                    and  talked again.
we talked and then
my love for you grew
  as a young man's love will naturally grow
when he is in the arms of his love,
  when he is in the arms of love.
                   we kissed
and such a sweetness i found!

a sweetness as only young ones know when
  tasting love for the first time came from
                     your mouth!
my God! your mouth...

and then we fell,
                     both of us this time,
  fell into something we did not understand,

                     but knew just the same!
we had been waiting,
                     one for the other...
to be complete
  we gave in to what we could only feel.

nothing we could see or had heard of could have

                     helped us learn this bravery
  against youth.

and so we fell,      
                     blindly, expectantly,
knowing only that
  my shadow, my highest,
                     my heartbeat

would always be yours:
  my first, my all-time, my yellow;
                     walk with me again...
