Where can I go
to hide from
this image of love
that haunts me?

For even at night
when I lay down
to sleep, as my eyes
close I see your
smile…

When I am not
near you, the hunger
becomes much too
unbearable…

And when you are near
to me, I want to hold
you so very close, even
to the point of feeling
our hearts beating...
together as one

For I have become
overwhelmed by this
sweet love with its
enduring strength to
bind a willing slave
to its powers

And I know that my life
could never be happy
without you always by my
side.
