i loved you the way
i believed summer
would melt,
fell into your arms
the way i could only
ever fall with you.

My lips on wine, my mind on you,
sip
      sip
            sip
My mind on wine, my lips on you.
sip
      sip
            sip
Intoxication pure and sweet,
I drink it deep.
With my lips on you
                         my mind with you
                                             my whine in yours,
a sweet elixir
we drink deeply.
Intoxication.

Stripped of your scarlet dress,
Naked before my eyes.

Your unblemished beauty
Unchanged but never the same.

Majestic in your unerring humility.
A constant in a tumultous world.

Wear what you choose
And wear it with pride.

You bring light to the dark.
What more could we ask for?
