you’ve swept me away
in your rivers,
completely.
do you know you steal my breath?
I can’t help it, I surrender
to you, so
surround me, encompass me,
cover me with your skin,
your flesh and kisses;
love me, I know you can.
love me,
for just a while, and
I’ll lead you,
follow you,
until you find
what you are looking for.
I am yours to break.
and if you ever want
to forget me for a while,
to love me no longer -
that is okay,
for you've loved me once,
and that is enough.

you’ve swept me away
in your rivers,
completely.
do you know you steal my breath?
I can’t help it, I surrender
to you, so
surround me, encompass me,
cover me with your skin,
your flesh and kisses;
love me, I know you can.
love me,
for just a while, and
I’ll lead you,
follow you,
until you find
what you are looking for.
I am yours to break.
and if you ever want
to forget me for a while,
to love me no longer -
that is okay,
for you've loved me once,
and that is enough.
