As ships pass in the night
I still tremble upon your vision
morning and night your beauty never escapes
your smile melts me as a cutting torch renders the steel
and the warm rush fills the void
My soul pants for thee,
for you, O thief of my heart
my heart that waged a secret war within my chest
waving the white flag of surrender
you have won for I cannot fight it
The battle was as if
sending smoke signals from adjacent hilltops
a wordless struggle trying to search
finding two hearts that beat as one
As in the spoils of war
I am your secret trophy
if just only in your heart
where I hope you keep me
For my life is forever changed
just knowing you exist
a beautiful dream
I shall never forget.
