was it the way your eyes were glued to mine at first sight
was it the way your sweet scent got a hold of me that night
i think it was the way you were so gentle
the way you were so pure
the way your voice soothed my heart
the way you were my cure
the way you made me feel safe
even at my most vulnerable state
the way your embrace lit my heart on fire
and silenced my mind
the way that being with you
ends up stopping time
i believe it lies in the way you simply exist
your perfect soul lies with mine
in ever-longing bliss
