If not for you where would I be today? Most likely dead or on some distant shore. Your love does not drift like the ocean waves. It stays close to my heart, I can't ask for more. Your skin, so soft, like velvet on my tongue. Your orchid, sublime, responds to every kiss. To my ears, your heart beats like a song. If I never met you my life would be amiss. But now we build the future bold and brave. There is no fear when I am in your arms. The ***** is gone and I'm no longer a slave. My soul is not in a state of alarm. Your breath is like the wind on a barren land. I swear to you I'll always be your man.
