The hours passed as we lay together.
Time burnt fast and bright for you and me;
Dawn crept up against our pleas.
Such familiarity in respectful ease.
Shared warmth within the shelter of a huddled cave;
Stolen glances, taken and saved.
A gift given, a gift stolen.
The rush stays the same;
Soft and sweet, a light touch fanned that flame.
"Love"?
The heart tries to hide (constantly);
The mind loves to lie (logically).

The hours passed as we lay together.
Time burnt fast and bright for you and me;
Dawn crept up against our pleas.
Such familiarity in respectful ease.
Shared warmth within the shelter of a huddled cave;
Stolen glances, taken and saved.
A gift given, a gift stolen.
The rush stays the same;
Soft and sweet, a light touch fanned that flame.
"Love"?
The heart tries to hide (constantly);
The mind loves to lie (logically).
