you with your voice like silk
i bleed as the silk cloth you flicked
you bind me with words of magic
bound and bewitched, with a single touch
i burn like an endless candle wick

My way home alone is distressing
With blaring cars speeding on the road
Leaving a trail of thick gray smoke
that leaves me suffocating

Way home with you comes bearable, quite so
With your voice that overpowers the horns
Music to my ears and as peaceful with cicadas
Then we part ways, leaving me breathless

Breathing is becoming difficult around you
Heart beating faster beside you
Mind is filling with thoughts of you
Now I am
        utterly,
             deeply,
                  madly,
                         falling
                             in love with you

it was as if it was only yesterday
when I listened to your songs
as my soul danced with yours

when we laughed all night
at our failures in life
when we shivered and trembled
as our hearts pulled together
when we'd think mid-conversation
that we had fallen in love with each other
and when you left me crying
as you took my heart with you

every tale has its own lesson to tell
and if I learned anything from our tale it's that
time is fleeting but my love for you is not
